That would be a "working fix", but really the problem is that
operations between immutable objects stubbornly keep returning
immutable objects that you don't want. I don't expect to see
"immutable + immutable = mutable" become practical anytime soon.

    sage: M = Matrix()
    sage: M.set_immutable()
    sage: hash(M+M)
    ...
    TypeError: mutable matrices are unhashable
    sage: hash(tuple()+tuple())

And of course the same happens with our clusmy "copy" policy. But when
people refuse to see something, well...
