This wouldn't be allowed unless the object was duplicated /

Aside from the point that this still doesn't solve the problem
(pure functions do cleanup too), this means a lot of headache
for people who just want to write code. I'd much rather just
write an array type and be done.

Fair enough. There are other advantages to writing with "create
data with pure functions then process it" idioms (easier to do
unit tests, better for parallelism, etc), though.
