Meh, I don't like questions where people who really understand the subject have a 50/50 chance of getting it right because they have to second-guess the author's intention."Is this a question about the official rules and limitations, or about workarounds?" -- I guessed wrong. :crying:

Guess it's down to language subtleties again--while BOL uses 'compute' to describe the behavior, the author of the question used 'reference' (with 'not persisted' being irrelevant for the scope of the question). So from a language perspective, that's two different things/meanings...
Thanks for an interesting question that sparked an even more interesting and enlightening discussion.
PS: And no, I do not want my point back.
