Numbers and bools and nil are essentially passed by value.  Strings,
because they are immutable, can be considered this too.  Tables,
userdata and such which are always passed as reference cannot be passed
by value.  You can emulate by-value passing of tables by doing a copy of
them.  Deep or shallow is up to you, depending on the data structure.
