Comment:
`get_initial` shouldn't return an object that's unsafe to mutate, and I
can't see a compelling reason for it to return an immutable object. The
greatest flexibility would be afforded by a method as in the patch since
it allows you to alter `self.initial` if you so desire, but also prevents
the gotcha case of accidentally mutating the initial data for the entire
process.
This patch still needs a test case, and a note in the documentation would
also be helpful.
