True.
For references these two syntaxes will do the exact same thing.
I don't really know why I used this syntax here; I think I just wanted to try out a certain syntax. But using the "=" syntax for references (or pointers) is preferred.
But my point was that there's really no reason to change it (even though it's using an unpreferred format) since it has no functional difference.
