I think this was discussed before a few weeks ago here (But I
don't remember the thread), and this is a design choice, for
example this:
VarArr2 = VarArr1;
VarArr2 is just pointing to the same address of VarArr1 as you
can see by:
writeln(VarArr1.ptr);
writeln(VarArr2.ptr);
To do what you want, you need to use "dup":
VarArr2 = VarArr1.dup;
Now it will work as you expect.
I think this is confusing but in the end it's a design choice,
instead of copy just point, and if you need to copy, you need to
it explicitly.
