There are two sensible options:
I see the question as, is T[new] a value type or a reference type? I
see it as a reference type, and so assignment should act like a

Andrei says you think arrays are like slices with some extra
functionality, but slices are *not* a reference type, they are
hybrids. Do you think T[new] arrays should be fully reference types?
(I do)
I might have misrepresented his position. We both think T[new] is a
reference type, and it was implemented that way in the now defunct
feature.
Yeah, I haven't looked at the newsgroup since Thursday, and I had 500 new
messages to read. Sorry for responding to this dead thread :)
