There are two goals: one, to use less memory per dynamic state in order
to allow millions of dynamic states to be allocated in light-weight
threading scenarios. The second goal is to prevent dynamic states from
being actively mutated in two threads at once. This second goal does
mean that dynamic states object that escape into scheme are now copies
that won't receive further updates; an incompatible change, but one
which we hope doesn't affect anyone.
