I've never understood the warning that switch throws:
bjori@lindsay:~$ php -dallow_call_time_pass_reference=0 -r 'strpos(&$var, 0);'

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated;  If you
would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of
strpos().  If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference,
you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file.
in Command line code on line 1

However, turning it on will not throw any warning or deprecated notice, wtf?

I'd say throw the warning if the switch is on and someone does
call-time-pass-by-reference and turn that switch off by default.
