Inout syntax

[mark-koch]

@acl-cqc has suggested some alternatives to the @inout syntax from #311 here #316 (comment):

However, have you thought about the "pythonic" alternative, which I believe would be def foo(x: Annotated[int, "inout"]?@inout is a bastardization of python syntax anyway so what would users think? I admit Annotated is rather long - what about def foo(x: Inout[int]) ? (No way, I hear you say - and I see the downside - maybe that lengthy Annotated isn't sooo bad, then....)

Not seriously recommending you change, but how different / how much simpler might that make things, would it impact the design at all?

Thoughts?

Personally, I think @inout is fine, and the best of the options presented
