I love the VAX highlighting of selected variable and how light-blue indicates read-only references and light-red indicates where its value may be changed. That said, VAX does not use light-red where the symbol is passed either by reference or by address/pointer to another method. I would think that such references should be highlighted in light-red since the method being called may update the value of the symbol.

Please note, however, that passing by read-only reference (where what is being referenced is const), the highlighting should remain light-blue.

I just noticed today that local data declarations using constructor-style syntax also are showing up with light-blue highlighting. For example, using this code fragment:
ScriptHandle id(m_EntityId);
pScript->SetGlobalValue( ENTITY_ALIAS, id );
if I were to select id, both locations would show up with light-blue highlighting. In reality, of course, the first instance (where the data is defined and initialized) should use light-red highlighting.

Bottom line: be sure that constructor calls for local variables get light-red highlighting.
