If one has a look at the C code generated by Vala for the following
two examples, it appears that the "unowned" keyword has no influence

the string b (of type gchar*) is passed to f().
In both cases, it is passed as a pointer (without duplication).
Therefore it seems to me that the Vala tutorial is slightly misleading
and should read:
- "In Vala strings are always passed by address".
The documentation is correct, the "value" here is the reference itself.
"By reference" means the address of the variable, not of the object.
