When values are used linearly (no longer referenced (∗) by the caller<br />
after being passed to another method/thread) then:<br />
• call-by-reference (pass-by-identity) = call-by-value (pass-by-copy)<br />
This sidesteps the well-known problem that RMI is a non-trivial<br />
solution to exploiting <strong>multicore</strong>. It’s heavyweight and its marshalling<br />
implies pass-by-copy rather that pass-by-identity.<br />
(*) Of course, the callee can later pass such a value back to the caller.<br />
