Subject: Re: functions, arguments and changing their value permantent

Sorry I missed this reply

You can easily return multiple arguments (x, y = changeit(x, y)) which
makes the inout semantics rather obsolete (with a few exceptions where
macro would be desirable). Some classes also provide destructive
methods that can be used to replace it's contents while maintaining
the object's identity.

which answers my question. Between reading the posts and replying I had 
a good nights sleep and still a bit groggy.
