If you rebind a name, and it held the last reference to an
object, there is no way to get that object back.
Are all names references? When I pass a name as a parameter to a
function, does the object the name is referring to, when altered by the
function, still appear altered after the function has returned? I
wouldn't expect that ...
I just ran a quick check and java (Ack, spit) does the same thing.
