Changes (by SimonKing):

 * status:  needs_review => needs_work
 * work_issues:   => mutability of quiver representation elements


Comment:

 I think it is a accepted standard in Sage that `zero()` and `one()` are
 cached. And of course, cached elements should be immutable.

 I see two ways to proceed. Either we replace `set_element()` by
 `_set_element()`, or we let `QuiverRepElement` inherit from
 sage.structure.mutability.Mutability, and try to see if we can afford to
 let it be immutable by default. I'll try the latter first.

 That said, I suppose we could completely remove the `set_element` method:
 It is not used, except in doctests.
