Rationale: wouldn’t freezing by default be OK for 98% of the cases?
Especially since the cases where you care most about short syntax are
throw-away functions.
The only sane reason I have seen for mutating a function is to set its
prototype property. But who wants to write constructors as short
lambdas? Another use case is modelling C-style static variables as
properties, but you cannot do that with an anonymous function anyway
(I also don't regard it as particularly sane, but who am I to judge).
I'd say +1 for frozen shortcut functions. I also don't see the use case
where mutating _the_function_ itself would be needed in such cases. It
seems to me it is ok for big percentage of uses. If you need mutable
one, use function.
Only fearful factor is when frozen one is used and in the runtime
mutation is needed for something... but I could not find such use...
wrapping such function is still possible, that is probably most
possibility you need in runtime when monkey-patching or something.
Correct me if I am wrong.
