A quick look at the source (pp_splice() in pp.c), shows that it doesn't check the state of the readonly flag. a simple 1 or two line patch should fix it. That said, I cannot remember the last time I accidentally modified the contents of an array I didn't want modified, so it's a moot point as far as I'm concerned. Indeed, if some module or api gave me an array that was readonly and I wanted to modify it, I'd just turn the flag off and do it anyway. This certainly isn't anything that would stop me from replacing the use of Readonly if I encountered its use in some module I wanted to use. But different folks ...

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
