That seems so utterly wrong that either you're an idiot or you're talking
at cross purposes to what Bryan and I think you're saying. Since I know
you're not an idiot, I can only imagine you have a different
understanding of what it means to be immutable than I do.
For example... is this instance immutable?
class Foo:
bar = None
f = Foo()
f.baz = True
If so, what do you mean by immutable?
