The subject of the thread was incorrect before. Sorry for the confusion.

Your statement "It can be passed by value unless it's a const reference" is 
circular. Passing by value is by definition not passing by reference. Perhaps I 
don't understand your statement.

It also doesn't matter if the reference is const or not in this case, the 
current Shiboken still does not create a correct wrapper. Old versions did.
