Looks fine (although I had hoped to establish a precedent for less mutation in the updating code...).

Actually there is another argument to include updating code: subsequent changes will likely rely on existing values to conform strictly to the previous type and will likely botch any updating of values that don't.

For example, if yet another value is added to the entry, then it cannot just be appended to each entry because that entry might be too short because of the incomplete previous update.
