Apple might come after you. How about calling it immutable. That's not a keyword.

Apple does not have trademark on "^i\w+" :-) Apple's trademarks: http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/appletmlist.html So I can safely register a trademark on iFool and of course on istring. (I'm not a lawyer and don't see this as legal advice, etc.)
I'm not saying that this (istring) is the same case, but see for example: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/10/07/22/134238/Apple-Doesnt-Appreciate-Toil... Apple is being very sensitive about things called iSomething regardless if they own it as a trademark or not. Matus
