Can't think of any point against it as well.
Add
	writeln(a[] + b[])
as a case where one would expect a new array to be created.

Yeah, it's strange that something like
	writeln(a[] * 4.f + 1.f);
or
	writeln(a[] * b[]);

gives the described access violation, while
	writeln(a[] + b[]);

yields Array operation not implemented.
