   The real question is Should setting the read-only property on a 
   ResizablePMCArray set the contained PMCs to read-only as well?

   I can fix the test (answer no) or I can fix the code (answer
   yes).  I just can't tell you which behavior is most correct.

If the answer were yes, how would one create a read-only
ResizablePMCArray that contains mutable PMCs?

 In t/src/ro.t there is the todo item:

 # XXX: should this work?

 and the related pir code:

 # three = 4 # should fail -- is that what we want

 The question is: is the behaviour encapsulated in the test actually what we
 want?
