I've been thinking D2. :) In D2, fixed-sized arrays are value types and 
copied to and from functions:

import std.stdio;

int[2] foo(int[2] array)
{
     writeln("in foo   : ", &(array[0]));
     return array;
}

void main()
{
     int[2] array;
     writeln("in main 1: ", &(array[0]));
     int[2] result = foo(array);
     writeln("in main 2: ", &(result[0]));
}

All three addresses are separate in D2.
