I just have an idea that come into my mind. I will quickly post it (and
probably think it's stupid tomorow morning).
Instead of a special id, we could maybe use a decorator :
<mutabletype id="x">
<path ... />
</mutabletype>
Probably stupid, certainly not trivial to implement, but make it obvious
that's a quiet special structure that should be used carrefully.
