Agreed, a DIP is probably in order for this change. It would probably be enough
to concentrate on the simple parts first (implicit isolated->immutable
conversion and free psasing of isolated values between threads) and then
implement further relaxations bit by bit (e.g. implicit scoped
isolated->writable->isolated conversion). Allocating time for a proper DIP is
difficult for me currently, but I guess it could be marked as work-in-progress
in the wiki so that it can be completed step by step?
