I'm kind of confused as to what you're saying here.  Dicts aren't mutable
either.

However, you can produce a new dict from an old dict and a key/keys to add,
just like you can produce a new record which is created from an old record
and a field/multiple fields to change.

When you say "frames" wouldn't be mutable, how does that differ from dicts
(or for that matter, records)
