The explanation you quoted is from 2005, and `inout` does not mean the same thing in 2022 as it did in 2005.The current meaning of inout is explained in the D language specification on dlang.org. Here is a link to the relevant section:https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#inout-functions
Note that in 2005, D2 did not exist, `inout` in D1 used to mean what `ref` now means in D2.
So if you are looking for that specific meaning, use `ref`. -Steve
