1.7 References
1.7.1 Motivation
References are pointers to specific objects. They are immediately 
initialized to the object they will point to, and they will never point 
to any other object. They are immediately dereferenced when used.
This addition is necessary for the overloaded operators that modify 
their arguments and can’t receive pointers.

References can’t be reassigned, and pointer arithmetic is not possible 
with them.

Syntax:

As in C++ use the "&" sign instead of the "*" sign.
