The docs should also discuss inout variables declared within the function (to store intermediate results while processing input arguments). The meaning of inout by a nested function isn't obvious when the enclosing function is already using inout. Does inout of the nested function match that of the enclosing function? Or are they distinct. If distinct, there may semantically ambiguous cases...
