Well, I confess that I don't know why you would ever have thought that s = t; wouldn't work. The only mutable types that can't be assigned to like this are the ones that have disabled assignment or copying (which would only be certain structs). And I thought that the spec made it clear that static arrays were value types, in which case the behavior of s = t; should be obvious. So, I would have thought that it would be clear enough as-is, but clearly, it wasn't for you. So, I don't know. We do want the spec to be clear, but it would also be bad to add a bunch of redundant information in an attempt to be clearer. I'd have to go digging through the spec though to give any concrete suggestions on how to improve this though. - Jonathan M Davis
