I would assume that Bad Things would happen in that case, based on my
understanding of how fast enumeration is implemented. It gathers and
returns a C array of pointers to the values in the collection, which
can then be enumerated with simple pointer arithmetic. Changing the
original collection object would leave the C array out of sync with
it, leading to Bad Things happening - maybe an exception, maybe a
crash, I don't know, but definitely nothing good.
