call-by-value-result
     
        An argument passing convention where the {actual argument} is
        a variable V whose value is copied to a local variable L
        inside the called function or procedure.  If the procedure
        modifies L, these changes will not affect V, which may also be
        in scope inside the procedure, until the procedure returns
        when the final value of L is copied to V.  Under
        {call-by-reference} changes to L would affect V immediately.
        Used, for example, by {BBC BASIC V} on the {Acorn}
        {Archimedes}.
