Yes, but Nikita wrote this note about technical limitations at the bottom of 
the repo README:

Due to technical limitations, it is not possible to create mutable APIs for 
primitive types. Modifying $self within the methods is not possible (or rather, 
will have no effect, as you'd just be changing a copy).

Does that mean that the scope of Nikita's proof-of-concept could not modify 
$self, or that it is simply not possible to modify $self given limitations 
inherent in PHP?

Further, does that only apply to scalars, or might possible arrays could be 
different?
