If I had source level write access to myself, the first thing I'd do would
be to put a 7-day lock on it: any change I try to make goes into a pipeline
with a 7 day delay and the option to cancel at any point during that time.
If self-modification is ever legalized in any society even slightly similar
to ours, I imagine there'll be some such safeguards on it.
