This isn't supported, unfortunately. You would have to supply your own 
mutation routines that check the mutated argument for being immutable.

Well, here is a totally crazy idea: `evict' the data into non-writable
memory (using `evict-to-location'), set up some code that ignores
the page-faults, etc...
This *could* work, but someone with more knowledge of UNIX/Linux
internals
might have a few clues.
