That depends on what you consider the object to be. There
are existing examples of objects that wrap other objects
and mutate them, e.g. TextIOWrapper.

If it would make anyone happier, there could be two classes,
Heap and HeapWrapper (with one probably being implemented
as a subclass of the other).
