It's just "my Dog @foo", which can be stored exactly like "my ref @foo". Maybe "my ref @foo" is redundant with "my Any @foo", if Any is always a reference type. (Which would imply that a mere value passed to an Any parameter would be autoboxed, which sounds about right. When viewed as an Any, int turns into Int, num into Num, str into Str, ref into Ref, dog into Dog, etc. :-) Larry
