    class xlist(list):
        def __freeze__(self):
            return tuple(self)

Shouldn't that be:

    class xlist(list):
        def __freeze__(self):
            return tuple(map(freeze, self))

"Should dicts and sets automatically freeze their mutable keys?"

Dictionaries don't have mutable keys, but it is of my opinion that a
container which is frozen should have its contents frozen as well.
