It happens to work in Guile too, when you use the interpreter instead of 
the compiler:

However, as implied by 
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2012-01/msg00135.html>, 
it's not something to rely upon.  (Maybe 'eval' should make all strings 
it encounters in the S-exp read-only first with substring/read-only, 
assuming that doesn't come with a performance cost.)
