Ok, I see now. Excellent. I thought this was another dynamic array being
created and destroyed.

can you post an example of a const dynamic array? I tried and it thinks it's a
set so I can't assign to an open array.
Also that made me think, is it possible for an open array parameter to be
written to if its source was a static array? You said it's a pointer so I
wonder if it's possible to use them instead of passing a static array pointer
with an additional parameter for the length.
