Nice article!

What about local variables?
Yes. Local variables cease to exist beyond the scope of the function, so
they are allowed. the main principal of inout is that it only exists as
inout during the scope of the function, then goes back to its original
const flavor (const/immutable/mutable). In fact, my original proposal
called inout "scoped const".
