Hi, Gabriele,
I would like to add my $0,02. I think, that alias is another
interesting example of a modifying function having some effect on
words.
I don't think that immutable series can be better for all
applications. But, if you ask me, if immutable series are better
for storing a non-self-modifying code, then my answer sounds YES,
YES, YES!
