How would you define the struct then? If we define it as a normal
struct and people naively access stuff, it might suddenly point to
something else - so if we allow us to change it, then we probably
should define it in a way that doesn't even allow the naive accidental
mis-reading.
Keeping that in mind then, it sounds like it would get rather
complicated to use.
