That still wouldn't solve the performance problems.
You mean even for a static array on the stack, the time to construct it
would impose a performance problem? If that's the case, I'd say the
optimizer should be able to tell that the array data actually is
constant, and compile the code as if the array was immutable. I assume
the array being a value type on the stack makes it much easier for the
optimizer than a heap allocated array with unknown length.
Is that impossible?
