        Auxillary classes to implement call by reference.
        
        Python does not allow a user to distinguish between *call-by-value* and *call-by-reference*
        parameter passing. Python's standard types are passed by-value to a function or
        method. Instances of a class are passed by-reference (pointer) to a function or
        method.
        
        By implementing a wrapper-class `CallByRefParam`, any types value can be
        passed by-reference. In addition, standard types like `int` or `bool`
        can be handled by derived wrapper-classes.
        
        
        ## Example
        
        ```Python
        # define a call-by-reference parameter for integer values
        myInt = CallByRefIntParam()
        
        # a function using a call-by-reference parameter
        def func(param : CallByRefIntParam):
          param <<= 3
        
        # call the function and pass the wrapper object
        func(myInt)
        
        print(myInt.value)
        ```
