I think what we really need is to define what paradigm we're using for

I think we should split collections into :
std.collections.mutable
std.collections.immutable
Can't work: immutable is a keyword. :-)
And I think having immutable as a type modifier in the language makes
it pointless an inelegant to categorize collections into mutable and
immutable kinds. You could have fixed-size, or fixed-content
collections types though (enabling some optimizations), but don't call
these immutable (or mutable) if you want to avoid confusion with the
keyword.
