(** When using flambda:
[set_field] MUST NOT be called on immutable blocks. (Blocks allocated
in C stubs, or with [new_block] below, are always considered mutable.)
The same goes for [set_double_field] and [set_tag]. However, for
[set_tag], in the case of immutable blocks where the middle-end optimizers
never see code that discriminates on their tag (for example records), the
operation should be safe. Such uses are nonetheless discouraged.
For experts only:
[set_field] et al can be made safe by first wrapping the block in
{!Sys.opaque_identity}, so any information about its contents will not
be propagated.
