void baz(foo &x);

If I have a foo, I call baz with it, foo's contents may change but it's still the same object.  I don't see an issue here, unless foo is a smart pointer type.  

And the only smart pointers I receive are weak references, and I'm assuming/planning that the referenced object doesn't get destroyed.  So I'm feeling safe to not concern myself.
