[plt-scheme] R5RS is totally useless for PLT, and I presume that R6RS is, also.

Converting mutable pairs to immutable ones is easy:

  (define (mtree-map x f)
    (let loop ([x x])
      (if (mpair? x)
        (f (loop (mcar x)) (loop (mcdr x)))
        x)))
  (define (tree-mutable->immutable t)
    (mtree-map t cons))

Huh?
