array by reference

// ============================================================================
// OPTIMIZATION: Large arrays should pass by reference, not by value
// ============================================================================
//
// Issue discovered in benchmark 2101_nbody:
// - Events that take/return arrays copy the entire array by value
// - [5]Body (280 bytes) copied through every event = 4% slowdown
// - Baseline Zig uses slices/pointers (16 bytes) = no copying
//
// Current behavior (BAD):
//   pub const Input = struct { bodies: [5]Body };  // 280 byte copy
//   pub const Output = union(enum) { result: struct { bodies: [5]Body } };
//
// Desired behavior (GOOD):
//   pub const Input = struct { bodies: []const Body };  // 16 bytes (slice)
//   pub const Output = union(enum) { result: struct { bodies: []Body } };
//
// OR even better - use pointers for fixed-size arrays:
//   pub const Input = struct { bodies: *const [5]Body };  // 8 bytes (pointer)
//   pub const Output = union(enum) { result: struct { bodies: *[5]Body } };
//
// ============================================================================
