I think all Smalltalks do basically the same thing, although I believe
that some use special immutable subclasses of Array, String etc to
prevent exactly that kind of trick.  As Bert said, it's not a very
clean hack - definitely in the "don't try this at home" category.  But
it feels like an overall win here.
