Thanks for finding this inconsistency. `mandatory` in combination with `initial` can give rise to situations where there is no obvious best behavior. Perhaps the best long term solution would be...

Yes, something like that but I think that one of `initial` and `default` should go away. Since there is not real distinction between a new object (that would trigger the...

Thanks for reporting this! I'm happy to take a PR fixing this. Preferably including some benchmarks of before and after to justify any increase in code complexity (that may arise...

Thanks for reporting this. Your comment about never adding nodes with discard seems very reasonable. I'll have a look!

Yeah, it's a well known fact that the pmap is a lot slower than the corresponding built in map. I would not use it for any type of performance critical...

Thanks to both of you for the pointers above!

Thanks for reporting this. I don't think the initial thought was to put types from the `types` module in there but just concrete or abstract, "normal", types. Most of this...

I agree, would be nice! I'll look into it.

Yes, I read that SO post as well when looking at this issue the first time. If it is implemented through monkey patching (I have not found any good alternatives)...
