That's a separate issue, and that horse has been beaten to death
already, with the current ELisp manual's text that talks of
"immutable" objects being the best result we could come up with that
leaves everybody with at least a partial satisfaction. Please let's
not start that discussion again.
Let's agree that the word "constant" in the context of this discussion
is a purely syntactic term, it has nothing to do with the object's
mutability.
