I understand the reasoning, but _under the conditions_ it is being used
by the OP it could have been immutable, right?

The index values will still match up with the queried values if they are
in the same time zone.

I'm not asking to change it back to immutable (it isn't), I just
realized that the stability of functions may actually be conditional.
