Different beast. Same problem.

I vaguely recall a discussion on whether or not it were
a good idea to change the default. Since mutation of the
standard bindings rarely are needed, it makes sense
to have the restrictive semantics as the default.

The spirit of such a change is in my view similar to
making cons produce immutable pairs.
