For no particular reason I can point to (no pun intended), in
situations like this one I normally use the array type form in
preference to the & form.  I find it easier to digest, and also
think it expresses more directly what I want to convey.  I'm sure
many people would normally use the & form, and I'm okay with that
choice, but it doesn't change my choice.
