What is the use case for immutable strings? Why shouldn't strings be mutable like they are in Scheme? Generally if I know I don't plan to mutate something, I'd want to make it immutable so the runtime system can notice if I make an error. It's like an "assert" statement spread through the whole program. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
