It is possible. Functions which require their argument by reference should 
ask for it to be sent by reference and not expect the calling person to 
write foo(&$bar). The BY_REF_ALLOW is a remainder of PHP 3 and is obsolete 
with today's reference counting (I'm pretty sure about this but I just woke 
up so I might be saying BS :).
