/**
 * Manages the capability to mutate an {@link Environment} and its contained Skylark objects.
 *
 * <p>Once the {@code Environment} is done evaluating, its {@code Mutability} is irreversibly closed
 * ("frozen"). At that point, it is no longer possible to mutate either the {@code Environment} or
 * its objects. This protects each {@code Environment} from unintentional and unsafe modification.
 * Before freezing, only a single thread may use the {@code Environment}, but after freezing, any
 * number of threads may access it.
 *
 * <p>It is illegal for an evaluation in one {@code Environment} to affect another {@code
 * Environment}, even if the second {@code Environment} has not yet been frozen.
 *
 * <p>A {@code Mutability} also tracks which {@link Freezable} objects in its {@code Environment}
 * are temporarily locked from mutation. This is used to prevent modification of iterables during
 * loops. A {@code Freezable} may be locked multiple times (e.g., nested loops over the same
 * iterable). Locking an object does not prohibit mutating its deeply contained values, such as in
 * the case of a list of lists.
 *
 * <p>To ensure safety, {@code Mutability}s must be created using the try-with-resource style:
 * <pre>{@code
 * try (Mutability mutability = Mutability.create(fmt, ...)) { ... }
 * }</pre>
 * The general pattern is to create a {@code Mutability}, build an {@code Environment}, mutate that
 * {@code Environment} and its objects, and possibly return the result from within the {@code try}
 * block, relying on the try-with-resource construct to ensure that everything gets frozen before
 * the result is used. The only code that should create a {@code Mutability} without using
 * try-with-resource is test code that is not part of the Bazel jar.
