Fixing it with define-strict is ridiculous, as y is still mutable, it is
the string "hello" which is not. As for mutable strings, I consider them
a mistake to begin with, but if people expect them to be be mutable, and
historically they are mutable (in guile), it is a mistake to change this
without prior warning.
