AA keys only need to be immutable in the parts that are relevant to the hash
function. For example, if a class object's toHash method simply casts 'this' to
an integer value, then it doesn't matter what you change in the class, the AA
will still work. Similarly, if a class object's toHash method computes a hash
only on members x, y, z, then it's OK to change member variable w without
breaking the AA.

The only time you actually require immutability in AA keys is when you use the
default hash function that computes a hash over the binary representation of
the entire key.
