Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Hi Rob,

 As I actually said on sage-devel, I would like to keep the following
 semantics for `inplace/copy`:
  - `inplace`: modify (or not) the object, like `l.remove(1)` is an inplace
 modification on a list `l`;
  - `copy`: whether the created object will hold the argument or make a
 copy of them, like `matrix(ZZ, data=[1,2,3,4], copy=False)`.

 For the purpose of this ticket, this would be an `inplace`.

 Vincent
