"never a good idea" would be too permissive and welcoming. The
documentation should simply say that writing into a string literal is
undefined behavior (exactly like in other popular system languages like
C and C++).
The current documentation gets into unnecessary detail of what may
happen and why under different environments. Well, yes. :) It is
undefined behavior.
