 | First-class environments cause way too much trouble.

 | at any time.

Don't assume that environments-objects must be mutable!  The
environment can be mutable while the environment-object is read-only.

Read-only environment-objects are not difficult to compile for, and
provide nearly all the benefits of reflexive programming (trace and
inspection, for example).
