Oh... Understood. In the first draft/drafts, functions were in/out, that was forsaken for the sake of purity from side-effects, then for the sake of the said side-effects access parameters are added (don't know if dispatching on access parameters/results were added at the same moment), yet they waited one more version to put back in-out function parameters... Surely there are many reasons (probably) but it still seems funny.
