ImmutablePicoContainer?

I'd like to understand the full usecase for the rename.
Is it because most people end up using MutablePC?  Not so, IMO, because if used with Nano, it the 
opposite and people will mostly use PC.

The other possibility is to drop the distinction between PC and MPC and only have a method to create 
an unmodifyable PC, just like is done in Collections.  So the unmodifyable PC is a simply PC in 
which the register methods throw exceptions.

Thoughts?
