If |(set-car! '(a b) 'c)| is an error, how about |(set-car! '(d e) 'f)|?
That is, when do backquoted expressions denote constants? (I vote never).
[A related question is whether |`(d e)| returns the same list each time it
is executed. I suspect you may want to table the above paragraph.]
Vectors have constant length. Strings have variable length. With this
view it would make sense to "fill" a vector, but not a string.
