The security context contains an access control context, which contains
a domain combiner, which contains a reference to the Subject, not a copy
of the Subject.  If you mutate the Subject, the domain combiner will
subsequently use the new contents.  SubjectDomainCombiner has a caching
optimization for read-only Subjects, so you may want to evaluate an
operational system to see if there's any measurable impact to using
a mutable Subject.
