Has anyone agreed with you here about your use
of "cannot" instead of "should not" and your
unconventional use of "constant"/"immutable"
and "mutable"?

I don't think I've seen any support for that

I don't really see the doc/message for users
getting clearer; it seems like the waters are
being muddied.
