Oh! I thought they were classes. Thanks.

> Under the hood, as an optimization, the collection classes use copy-on-write indirection — an Array struct just contains a pointer to an internal buffer (a class instance) that has the actual data. That makes copying an Array efficient. The implementation just has to be careful to allocate a new buffer before modifying the contents, if the buffer is shared with any other Arrays. (There are some low-level public Swift types that act as helpers for implementing this pattern.)
