Not in PHP. If you still insist on that, maybe you should file a bug
report, because the manual also says that references are no pointers ...

It doesn't matter how you personally define "pointer" and "reference",
you can name them whatever you like. But in computer science both terms
have a well-defined meaning and behaviour. And by these definitions PHP
references are _no_ pointers. It's that simple.
EOT for me
