To correctly determine if an arument is passed by reference requires the 
complete function prototype (same problem as push dummy call).  I think, 
rather than change the interface (will anyone actually fix/use that 
info?) this method should be burried as stabs only.  Leave the problem 
of defining/implementing a new interface to someone that needs it.
