[`const` reference in C++](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_(C%2B%2B)>).
Which option must not be observable to the programmer. For example, Carbon will
not allow modifications to the original value when it is through a pointer. This
choice may also be influenced by the type. For example, types that don't support
being copied will be passed by pointer instead.
