There have been requests for something like this on swift-evolution, 
e.g. here in the context of the discussion about a `reduce` variant that 
takes `inout` arguments: 
https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170123/030641.html

An alternative might be to add a variant of `map` to `MutableCollection` 
that mutates the collection directly, see: 
https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170123/030643.html.

But as far as I know there hasn't been a proposal for adding this. (Is 
it important enough to have in the standard library? I don't know.)
