I've just given it a spin and looked at the assembler output, and I can't
cause array pass-by-value either unless I wrap it in a struct. So it does
seem that arrays do indeed turn into pointers. My memory of this is clearly
faulty, presumably corroded by me normally wrapping them in classes and
passing them that way.
