what would break if the code syntax was extended so that
{{ and
}} bounds a
frozenset like
{ and
} bounds a
set?

i would have to agree with that. but, is there anything in the
syntax of the language that would break? i am asking this way for my thinking about the design of a new special-purpose language, not really a change to Python (but one hat borrows much from it).

if that were to happen, then what would be the point of having a frozenset? a mutable object being hashable i cannot imagine unless its hash is allowed to vary. that could be very interesting. if i were to fork Python (to add my own syntax), it would have to be a fork of a specific version, i would think.
