I don't see much problem. You should always return an array (T[new]) if
you have one, because you can get an slice from it (the inverse is not
true). Because of this, implicit conversion from array to slice can be
a good idea, so people expecting a slice when an array is returned will
never know an array was returned anyways. If you need to keep appending to
the array, you can have the original array and keep appending to it
without any performance hit (no copying, no new allocations).
What's wrong with that?
People expecting a slice and using "auto" or templates are in for a
rude awakening.
Ok, you are in one of those days when you don't listen to reasons. I give
up! =)
At least in that case I had an objective point! I'd agree many others
are subjective.
