YAGNI.
If you want a frozen list, you can already write that as a tuple. There
is no need to do:
[1, 2, 3].frozen()
when you can just write `(1, 2, 3)`. Same for bytearray and bytes.
We already have display or literal syntax for frozen lists and frozen
bytearrays. It is only frozensets which don't, and since people cannot
agree on syntax for a frozenset display, we're stuck with approaching it
side-ways: a method call which, if applied to a set display of literals,
could be safely optimized out by the compiler.
The rest of the time, someset.frozen() would just call frozenset.
