I no qualms about passing the address of a variable. Variables are fine things
that the compiler knows about from the VAR section and has set up a lovely
table of names and addresses to lookup at that time, long before they are
encountered in any Procedure.
The program fragment
DoSomething(ADR('D. J. Bauch loves C but is not going to marry it'))
shows me passing the address of an inline constant, and since that address
seems to be dependent on the state of the machine at load time, it makes me
feel a little queezy.
