+In-place Operators
+------------------
Many operations have an "in-place" version. Listed below are functions
providing a more primitive access to in-place operators than the usual syntax
>>> a
'hello'
-For mutable targets such as lists and dictionaries, the inplace method
+For mutable targets such as lists and dictionaries, the in-place method
will perform the update, so no subsequent assignment is necessary:
>>> s = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
