Ok here is an updated patch which does a register-system as well as register-preloaded-system as part of register-immutable-system. It tries to preserve version information according to what Faré recommended.
It also patches clear-system and clear-defined-system so as to prevent clearing any systems which occur in the *immutable-systems* table. In the case when a system is immutable, this also now affects the return-value of these clearing functions.

Thanks to both of you for your work on this patch.
I'm going to hold off on applying any patches, though, until there's a test case.
Dave, I understand that it might be hard to wrap your head around the test script code, so let's start by brainstorming what the test should do, rather than digging in and getting confused with the details of implementation.
I believe what is wanted is a test where we make an image with some system preloaded, try to mark it as immutable, and then check to see if it's reloaded. Is that correct?
Cheers, r
