I don't know if hardening Python is a compelling argument to add a new builtin type.
It isn't.
Builtins are for general purpose use.
It is not something most people should use;
however, if it is a builtin, people will be drawn
to frozendicts like moths to a flame.
The tuple-as-frozenlist anti-pattern shows
what we're up against.
Another thought: if pypy is successful at providing sandboxing, the need for sandboxing in CPython is substantially abated.
