+Warns against accidentally creating an object which is no longer read-only because of how spread operator works in Flow. Imagine the following code:

+```flow js
+type INode = {|
+  +type: string,
+|};
+
+type Identifier = {|
+  ...INode,
+  +name: string,
+|};
+```
+
+You might expect the identifier name to be read-only, however, that's not true ([flow.org/try](https://flow.org/try/#0C4TwDgpgBAkgcgewCbQLxQN4B8BQUoDUokAXFAM7ABOAlgHYDmANDlgL4DcOOx0MKdYDQBmNCFSjpseKADp58ZBBb4CdAIYBbCGUq1GLdlxwBjBHUpQAHmX4RBIsRKlQN2sgHIPTKL08eoTm4rWV5JKA8AZQALBABXABskVwRgKAAjaAB3WmB1dISIAEIPLhC3NAiY+KSUtMyoHJo8guLSnCA)):

+x.type = 'Should not be writable!'; // No Flow error
+x.name = 'Should not be writable!'; // No Flow error
