Was doing that, am doing that - replacing rather than fixing up
to have truly immutable value objects.

Was hoping to find a solution to avoid creating possibly large

OTOH. As somebody pointed out, file input will probably dominate.
Unless of course if from SSD or OS buffer cache.

Will be back if/when it bites me in the field.
