if you want to enforce that in userland now, you have even higher performance implications. I wouldn't worry about the performance of edge cases and take away a feature for everybody else because of that. If there's a better internal implementation, it can always be improved later. > Regarding constructor call, upon first initialization of object, you are > allowed to assign values to properties, after constructor is executed, > object is locked.

So it's already implemented basically. > I agree that it would be better to pass by value but I am not sure how would > that impact the way we currently manage objects in object store. If we both agree it would be the better way, why not draft an RFC for it and find someone who knows how to implement it?
