Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Hi @Offereins - In contexts like the following, the query object is passed
 by reference as the default behavior in PHP 5+:

 {{{
 do_action( 'parse_term_query', $this );
 }}}

 Instances of `&$this` in the codebase are a remnant of PHP 4 support.

 (We've already spoken about this over Slack, but I wanted to repeat it
 here for posterity :) )
