"never a good idea" would be too permissive and welcoming. The 
documentation should simply say that writing into a string literal is 
undefined behavior (exactly like in other popular system languages like 
C and C++).

The current documentation gets into unnecessary detail of what may 
happen and why under different environments. Well, yes. :) It is 
undefined behavior.
