* definitely not be used. Moreover, the block that is returned is immutable (or
* should be), and therefore modifications should not be attempted on it. If a
* modifiable copy is required, then the block should be cloned.
* </p>
* This method exists because it is sometimes important to inspect the block
* at a given location, but {@link #getBlock(Vector)} may be too expensive in
* the underlying implementation. It is also not possible to implement
* caching if the returned object is mutable, so this methods allows caching
* implementations to be used.
