There is a computer science concept analogous to what Zerox does. "Pass
argument by reference" also provides a look-in to a point in memory without
copying it. So if you want to name it something else, try changing it to
CpRef.

Weightless and alone
you speed through the eerie nothingness of space
you circle 'round the Moon
and journey back
to face the punishing torment of re-entry

I believe I forgot to +1 a suggestion for "Dup" above. Dup reminds me
of dup(2) which I think is a close match.
