I recall being shocked that this actually worked at all when I first
ran into it. I was trying to track down a performance problem that
turned out to be the copy-in/copy-out. Once I found that was the
problem, I realized what I was asking it to do. It had never occurred
to me that a compiler would do copy-in/copy-out to make such a thing
work.
I still mostly regard it as a hack for compatibility purposes.
