Is there a way to achieve the same thing, though? Overwrite the object we're attached to?

Not really, that's not how functions work in Kotlin. You could add something like UByte.withUpperNibble(upper): UByte that returns a new value instead.

Ah well, good to know. Thanks for the help.

You don't want what Fortran allowed people to do in the old days. Call function(4), and have function (number) do number=number+1. Once that returns, everywhere you have 4 was treated as 5.
