As the original author, can you say something about the intended use of this 
feature ?

It was meant for a pretty narrow use of array types. If I knew how much work it 
would be to implement I probably would have not done it. :P I personally wanted 
it for static array lists that had methods like Add/Delete.

Fixed-length arrays are the only practical use I can think of.

The record with constants example is too convoluted to my taste.
As a reader, I find such code hard to understand.

Thanks for the examples !

Michael.
