I had no doubt of that.  My doubt is about set-cdr!.

I don't see that in the 1.6.0 manual, so I'll assume it was added
later.  Assuming the following is in fact true, I would also like to
see something to the effect of:
  Changes to the cdr of a handle (e.g., via set-cdr!) will be
  reflected in future lookups for the same key.  Changes to the car of
  a handle (e.g., via set-car!) may cause future lookups to fail.
