Well, IMHO it's better to just pass by value (for clarity). But it doesn't matter much either way. IMHO the "performance" angle doesn't matter because optimizing compilers, so basically at this point we're trading off "code clarity" versus "amount of bikeshedding in this PR," and I'm certainly willing to stop my bikeshedding, either way. :)
