As long as it's clear that ReadOnly != Immutable, I think it's OK.
I think readonly<Foo> is going to be difficult to define and will also be
clumsy. An interface might have arbitrary mutation methods on it, e.g.
Foo::reset(), and there will be no easy way to automatically obviate such
methods without additional annotations. I don't think we should go that way.
