That's sounds pretty painful as the default, I think, and would
likely break every program in existance!

Perhaps a command line flag could freeze strings by default, or
--even better-- if we had access to the String constructor,
you could simply override it in your Ruby program and freeze
all strings by default without breaking any other program.
