Passing writable arguments to functions.

[Gribouillis]

pass by assignment, which is not even fully correct, but I guess does highlight the concept in way.

I think "pass by assignment" is ambiguous because assignment means different things in different languages. "Pass by Python assignment" would be better. In C++ classes can redefine the assignment operator, but the assignment operator is used when objects are passed by value as far as I remember.

I would probably use "pass by object", like in "please pass the bread".

Well, to be fair they do mean it as a python assignment since every language do have different assignment semantics (especially Rust). Pass by object is also a little ambiguous in my opinion.
