	Probably adding jet fuel to the embers but...

	I'd consider "value" to be the /current state/ of the object

	A mutable object has changeable internal state, but remains the same
object.

	Integers, floats, strings are fixed with to the state at time of
creation. Dictionaries, lists, class instances, OTOH, are not fixed to the
state at time of creation.

	Default parameter link a name to an object at the time of definition
but do not "fix" the state of the object.
