Mutability

The section on mutability seems wrong, or at least needs more explanation if it isn't. Vectors and Rotations clearly appear to be mutable:

vector v = <1,3,3>;

v.x = 0;

Obviously, the following sequence has the same result:

vector v = <1,2,3>;
v = <0,v.y,v.z>;

These might be operationally equivalent. But it is less than clear that they are operationally the same (at least naively, one would expect the two versions to have a different machine implementation, with the first perhaps more efficient).
