thanks , I'll ponder on that one - it does seem better - a list matches the constant idea better - contents of constant references are mutable, so removing the
[]'s removes that level of writable-ness, if that's the right term.
I'd worry about the
[MSG_DATA] though - this copies MSG_DATA and returns a reference to the copy - this may or may not be what you want.
