I see. Well it's not your most common pattern, clearly. And I have
seen it called the Immutable pattern too. But for the module it
doesn't make as much sense b/c the Multiton is not the only way to
achieve Immutability. The Singleton Pattern an Immutable too. In fact
the Multiton pattern is sometimes just referred to as the Modified
Singleton pattern.

Completely understand. Just think Multiton is probably more
technically correct name.
