Comment (by Jon Dufresne):
I've noticed that Python tends to return `None` for functions that mutate
the object in place and return a new object for non-mutating functions.
Just one example:
{{{#!python
>>> type([1].sort())
<class 'NoneType'>
>>> type(sorted([1]))
<class 'list'>
}}}
It may not be a hard rule, but could be considered as a guideline.
