"The last restriction ensures that words such as " { $link clone } " do not satisfy the foldable word contract. Indeed, " { $link clone } " will output a mutable object if its input is mutable, and so it is undesirable to evaluate it at compile-time, since doing so would give incorrect semantics for code that clones mutable objects and proceeds to mutate them."
