For some kind of static integrity checking? (the performance bit
is already taken care of, at least if we assume that writing to
a read-only variable doesn't happen very often ;)
How about a special setter then (e.g. NULL or 'read-only). If someone
changes this setter at run-time I guess they get what they deserve.
The idea would be to spare the precious bit just to say that there's
something special about the setter and to put more information
``down the pointer'', where there is more room (same for the getter).
