This is the explanation I remember as well.  But I'm not sure it 
justifies the addition of a general-purpose sounding keyword simply for 
parameter passing.  "inout" may have been a bit confusing in light of 
const reference passing, but is consistency with "in" and "out" made it 
arguably worth retaining.
