If you don't want to mutate it, don't put var in the parameter

use that if you want mutation.
OK, didn't realise var was required for the parameter before.
Sounds like they are breaking the language just to enforce a
philosophical point about a function's implementation choices not
being visible to the caller. Obviously not worth it at this stage.
