I mean mutable, of course.
No, it's not. It's not allowed to mutate with inout.

Right, but inout can accept any of mutable, const, and mutable.
The compiler will statically disallow you from mutating an inout
variable, but if you know the underlying data is mutable, it's
safe to cast inout away and mutate. If the data is actually
mutable, then inout is effectively logical const. I guess the
same is true of regular const.
