Comment (by ncohen):

 I don't get what you say. The system of decorators that this patch uses
 seems to induce a 10% slowdown in a couple of fundamental functions,
 doesn't it ? If you want to implement immutable graphs with just an
 additional test of a cdef boolean variable in the necessary functions I
 don't have anything against it a priori, as the slowdown would be much
 smaller `O_o`

 And I don't like copied/pasted code. But if you end up writing a patch
 that does that, I cannot really complain about anything as there are no
 immutable backends available to replace it. I can't set such a patch to
 "needs work" saying that you have to implement a real backend, can I ?
 `:-P` So if you end up writing a patch with a lot of copy and paste, and
 because I will not like it at all, I will later write another patch with a
 real immutable backend and remove all those copied/pasted code.

 And the world will be at peace.
