It might be a bit annoying for short functions, but in principle the
function signature should be written for the user (document an
encapsulated interface) and exposing irrelevant aspects of the
implementation in the interface is "bad taste".
Making value parameters immutable, and therefore making the fact that
they're not modified inside the function visible externally, _IS_ "exposing
irrelevant aspects of the implementation in the interface". The caller
doesn't care what you do with them.
