I wouldn't call a function that mutates the input "safe navigation", personally :)

  Er, it doesn't? `.get()` (or `[]` in the original) doesn't change the object, and `obj =` only changes which object the local variable refers to? This isn't like C++ with its intrusive `=`.

    You're right. Python is pass by reference and it's the reference being changed, not the object. This is what happens when you read code on the internet after drinks.
