That may be misleading because there is no need to allocate

the GC as well:
int[] foo()

a ~= 42; // on memory owned by the GC
return a;
}
I didn't realize this was possible... I figured it was equivalent to `null ~= 42` which I realize now is not correct, because a is not entirely a reference type. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
