Larry Hastings added the comment: Yes, it seems I've been living in a fool's paradise, happy and ignorant. I thought that the behavior of garden-variety "immutable" objects was like tuple, where the implementor shored up the interface and the saboteur had to work *really* hard to modify the contents. But apparently most immutable objects are more like Signature, where we tape up a hand-written sign saying "Plase Dont Chagne Anyting Wiht A Underbar In Frunt Kthxbai".
At least it's not hashable!
