A few months back I posted to Zope-dev an outline of how I can allow "local"
mutable assignment if the user follows certain rules.  I haven't implemented
it yet, though it's high on my to-do list.  It basically involves
recognizing local names which are only ever bound to locally created lists
and dicts, and allowing them to be mutated directly.
