Yes and no. There shouldn't be overloads. The reason there is a (conditional)
mutable version is so that "autoInitialize.Yes" can mutate to create an
instance.

That said, I think that when you have "autoInitialize.Yes", there should be no
inout version at all, since inout *can't* mutate the RefCounted to do said
initialization.

The conclusion is that while both mutable/inout version are needed, both should
be mutually exclusive, and noone should ever see it overloaded.

Not anymore. No time.
