Well, even then it ain't transparent!  You will still get bitten by
the stupid segmented architecture, because there are, even in large
or huge model, restrictions on either the size of an array, or on
the size and/or alignment of the elements of that array!

See?  Even in Large/Huge model There Ain't No Free Lunch!
