This is a very minor edit to the tutorial section on references. Reading this section for the first time, I stumbled on the phrase "a reference can be borrowed to any object." Its meaning was clear enough once I got it, but I had to re-read it a couple of times to parse it correctly. Something about the passive voice plus the way "reference to any object" is split up by the verb phrase. How about this instead?
