Feature Spec

Right now its not possible to mutate immutable container types because the API's for set method does not exist. So when attempting to do something like:

let m1 = Map<str> {"a" => "hello"};

m1.set("a", "world");

The wingc error message will say Unknown symbol "set" However the DX would be better if it was something like cannot mutate immutable type "Map"

Use Cases

Enhance DX when attempting to mutate immutable containers
