I wonder whether Raymond Hettinger has an opinion on this PEP. A long time ago, he wrote: "freezing dicts is a can of worms and not especially useful".

Ha, Raymond Hettinger has a lot of opinions. Great guy and I admire his dedication to Python, but in my own experience (and the experience of some other contributors), he has a chilling effect on contributions to certain parts of the CPython code base.

Not that it's entirely unwarranted, of course.
