The other signature is no different. Two occurrences of
"immutable", applying to two different things.
I agree that it can be unclear to newbies what exactly is
immutable when a method is marked immutable, but the meaning
of the keyword is the same as elsewhere. Using another word
there would be more confusing.
Another way to think about it, is that the "immutable" on the
function means that the implicit `this` reference to the object
is immutable.

I thought immutable was added to the language as a better
guarantee to 'const'. Which really tells me const wasn't cutting
it and wasn't a proper guarantee.
