Actually, there's no problem with the way you define the function. Is a problem with the way you call the function. So for your example, instead of calling it like:

takeScriptsWithMarker(&$lines, $marker);

You'd call it like:

takeScriptsWithMarker($lines, $marker); // no ampersands :)

So the feature is still available. But I don't know the reason behind this change.
