While this makes sense (references to identity objects are non-tearable), I'm not sure that is what the users will actually take away from what you propose.  If a user sees the equivalent of:

```
class Point implements NonTearable {
    int x;
    int y;
}
```

this is pretty easy to misinterpret.  And, unlike IdentityObject, I don't really see the static type ever being used as a type (e.g., `<T extends NonTearable>`.) Non-tearability is a low-level thing; attaching it to identity classes makes that harder to see.

suggest that IdentityObject implements NonTearable, so that
bounds like Record & NonTearable allow identity and inline
