I thought these discussions seemed familiar! Rereading what was said back then, I'm not sure if I can add much to the discussion. One thing I haven't noticed is about introducing a simple operator: (fn (mutable 'a) (by-ref (mutable 'a))) that compiles to a no-op but is there to aid auditing. Immutable by-refs could be automatic. The only other thing I thought of was increases in aliasing, but it seems you've given that thought already.
