The hack team recently released project to add COW collection to 
hack in addition to current, reference type, collections. You can

As collection are discussed here, I think this is relevant, 
especially the explanations as of why COW matters.

I found the first comment at the link to be a better explanation

why COW matters.

Copy-On-Write. You can use it with shared ref counting and 
immutable for filling out templates, transactional computations 
and other situations where you want to create  a new version of 
something without affecting the original immediately.
