# check_state.ludic — 0.S: what a state parameter allows. `h: mut Hiker` may change the state; # `h: Hiker` may only read it - an assignment whose target starts at it (`h.hips = 1`, # `h.list[i] = x`), a push onto something in it, or passing it where a `mut Hiker` is wanted is # refused. A module-level `let` (and a const, a registry, a state's own instance) is immutable all # the way down: the same writes starting at one are refused.
