i think the term reference is misleading, pointers holds a memory
address, but they are variables, have their own space in memory.
var i int
var p1, p2 = &i, &i
fmt.Printf("%p, %p, %p", &i, &p1, &p2) // 0x10000000, 0x10000004, 0x10000008
while in c++ references variables for example, address are shared for
referenced and reference.
int i;
int &p1=i, &p2=i;
printf("%p, %p, %p", &i, &p1, &p2); // 0x10000000, 0x10000000, 0x10000000
probably "memory address to a value" fits better for pointers.
