But don't use mutable keys is not a general principle. It is a principle

Sorry, but it *is* a general principle, adduced from the potential
pitfalls available to inexperienced programmers when breaking the principle.
I don't like it when a good rule of thumb because of implementation
limitations is sold as a general principle.
So, since you are so good at nit-picking, perhaps you will explain the
difference between "rule of thumb" and "general principle".
