variables by reference - script style suggestion

[Rodney Tamblyn]

I find it useful to indicate in the handler name  (by appending "V") 
when it  uses variables by reference. Alternatively  you could 
prepend/append the "v" to the variable name if you prefer.  My eye 
scans the handler names faster than the variables so I find it better 
this way.

Eg:

on mouseUp
   local tFocus
   maeGetDocFocusV tFocus #V indicates function uses variables by 
reference
answer tFocus #hello
end mouseup

is equivalent to

on mouseUp
   local tFocus
   put maeGetDocFocus() into tFocus
   answer tFocus #hello	
end mouseup		


#here are the function handlers...
on maeGetDocFocusV @pDoc
   put maeGetDocFocus() into pDoc
end maeGetDocFocusV

function maeGetDocFocus
   return "hello"
end maeGetDocFocus
