You can put a variable length array into a structure by putting a
pointer to the array in the structure:

result = { x: x, y: y, ptr: ptr_new()}
...
result.ptr = ptr_new(data)
return, result

I don't know if there are any DLM issues that will affect this, but it
works well for variable length arrays in objects and other structures.
