Can't work: immutable is a keyword. :-)

And I think having immutable as a type modifier in the language makes 
it pointless an inelegant to categorize collections into mutable and 
immutable kinds. You could have fixed-size, or fixed-content 
collections types though (enabling some optimizations), but don't call 
these immutable (or mutable) if you want to avoid confusion with the 
keyword.
