I'd say return a copy in the first case to be safe against accidental modification. If someone actually wants in-place modification, they can access signature directly.
I really don't understand this anxiety about mutable Signature objects.
Can you give a plausible example of "accidental modification" of a
Signature object? I for one--as clumsy as I am--cannot recall ever
"accidentally" modifying an object.
I really don't think signature() should bother copying/deep-copying the Signature before returning it.
