Let me go on record as not liking the concept. IMO it's usually a
mistake to want to take some data structure and ask for it to be
frozen. (Especially since there's usually a way to thaw it.)

I'm not going to argue the point further (I'm sure others will on
behalf) and I know there are two sides to this coin; but I think you
can save your time.
