+Below is a list of types of the parameters and what they're considered to refer to:

+- A reference param is considered to refer to its referenced object.
+- A pointer param is considered to refer to its pointee.
+- A ``std::initializer_list<T>`` is considered to refer to its underlying array.
+- Aggregates (arrays and simple ``struct``\s) are considered to refer to all

Can you add a test for the `array` and `initilizer_list` case?

For the simple `struct` case (e.g. `void capture(MyStruct abc)`), my understanding is that our implementation doesn't support it.
