Thanks for your answer. I think it is a good opinionated choice, because it is the best choice most of the time. However, in some specific case, I would like to have a way (even if you have to jump through a few hoops) to have public mutable fields. I have currently a file with a protocol per type with getter and setter, which is quite anti-idiomatic. There is no real protocol or overloading needed anywhere in this code, as it is very low-level. Would that be a lot of work to had a ^:public-unsynchronized-mutable and ^:public-volatile-mutable? If I were to write such a patch, would it be accepted?
