I agree! I initially tried to cast to shared and back, but when I 
encountered that compiler error I decided to go with immutable. I 
assumed that there was a good reason it didn't work, rather than 
a deficiency in the language. Hopefully the issue can be 
resolved, leading to a nicer solution. :)
