A string is also an immutable iterable, so this is probably even the
most common case.
As for more complex data structures:
* Tuples or immutable dicts are a good fit if want to group records by
subset of their attributes (think "group by" in SQL)
* Objects in general are often though of as units, even if they have
composite values and you might want to look up something by that
value.
