Is this like updater functions in POP-11, or "setf" in Lisp?
No, it is a function that returns a variable, meaning you can assign
into the function result.
I think an updater function would be more generally useful. Because some
things you want to update might not (depending on the implementation) live
independently in an explicit variable. And it seems good not to constrain
implementations unnecessarily.
