Here's the current output for 0970_ref_param_types.php.expected:
As-is, PassByReferenceVariable doesn't account for early-outing; it assumes that pass-by-ref variables take on the types the last time it was written to (or the merged value for multiple branches which don't early-out).
I'd explored instead deferring updating $this->element's type until the function's end, a return, or a throw, and wiping any previous values if all possible exit paths modified the variable; the problem with that is illustrated with $var6 in the test cases- an exception can interrupt execution even in a function that doesn't directly throw or catch it.
There are two cases where this will introduce bugs; I am assuming it's better for the UnionType to have false positives than false negatives.
