The existing two examples in docstring reads well respectively, but not in conjunction: In the above example it mutates Y, whereas in the lower example it mutates X. Hope that after revising it looks more clean and intelligible.

Indeed, I think it is helpful to keep the variable names in the examples in close correspondence to the ones in the sample call.
 A comment about the existing docstring is: The lower example reads counter-intuitive, _given_ the experience from reading the upper example. And `X` and `Y` are not like `A` and `B`. Hope the revised version reads clearer and intelligible. (cherry picked from commit 2d35f07)
