Yes. I was hoping someone would pop up with some syntax making the array, but not its contents, const or immutable, which I couldn't figure out how to do, and which is what I really hoped would be the answer, but it appears that this isn't part of the syntax.
Yup, head const is not part of the language. You'd have to find a library solution or write something yourself.
I really *can't* allow the length to be changed,
Your emphasis suggests that user could break things for your code. They can't. Any changes to the length will only affect the slice on the user's end. They can only fool themselves. That may be bad enough to warrant a more restricted return type, but for your code it's safe to return a plain dynamic array.
