Review Comment:
   > Why does the mutability of a function affect what types are accepted as 
arguments? It seems like the mutability of the function should affect the 
return types of the function not the argument types.
   
   The current code functions as expected: both Fixed and List are accepted 
regardless of the specified mutability, and the return type is determined by 
the mutability setting. Isn't it 🤔 ?
   
   > I'm still not super confident that I did this correctly or if this is the 
correct thing to be modelling. For example is array_positions mutable? It 
returns an array of potentially different sizes but doesn't actually mutate the 
input array.
   
   Instead of modeling "mutability," we can explicitly define the desired type 
in the function signature. This type can be either List or FixedSizeList, and 
we coerce the input accordingly
