Frankly speaking, I am left unconvinced that allowing argument to be writable will increase the quality of Pharo.

Readability readability readability. If I have to assign a temporary just to put some gating conditions to an argument, say I need a url without a trailing slash. I end up with two similarly named variables, with similar values, but completely different behaviour, one being mutable the other immutable. I would love arguments to be mutable. Once more I make the point that these facilities should be developed and packaged as a contribution to all squeakers not just pharo. Keith
