So, people never create/store/query g-snaps, only containers (and transferring/storing them through some g-text). G-snaps just provide us with a mathematical view that allows us to reason with the contents of containers. This means we only need to provide mechanisms for typing g-boxes. Containers are by default dynamic, but for pragmatic reasons we might want to have a mechanism to say we consider a g-box to be frozen (which essentially is only a social contract).

This sounds very sensible to me.

Why do *we* need to define the term for a frozen g-box? Why not leave it to the community?
