That would be a very good explanation of why you cannot store file descriptors in dynamic arrays, except that it is wrong.

By the way, the *reason* why you cannot store a file pointer in a dynamic array, is that dynamic arrays are delimited by ascii characters such as 255, 254, 253, etc. These characters however CAN occur within the body of a file pointer. Dimensioned arrays are not delimited by a character at all, rather they have a fixed byte size. So no possibility of conflict with a delimiter.
