For example, if an environment is stored in rmonad, say as the head node in an Rmonad object, and then the environment is altered outside the rmonad pipeline, then the Rmonad object is changed as well. Or worse, data cached somewhere deeper inside an rmonad pipeline could be altered if it is mutable.
I could possibly fix this problem by making deep copies (clones) of mutable objects. However, this is slow and may violate expectations.
Or perhaps I should just leave rmonad as is and post a warning about the use of mutable data in rmonad pipelines?
