Problem:
Doing a StructCopy() on the arguments scope doesn't return a copy of the arguments scope - it simply returns the arguments scope.This is very confusing, as changes to the returned struct from StructCopy() also occur on the arguments scope, as it is a reference.
Method:
<cffunction name="testArguments" hint="" access="public" returntype="numeric" output="true"><cfargument name="input" hint="" type="Numeric" required="Yes"><cfscript>var args = StructCopy(arguments);args.input++; return arguments.input; </cfscript></cffunction><cfoutput>Output should be 10. #testArguments(10)#</cfoutput>
