No, midl doesn't do that for all types of arrays, I said that before
I had compared more carefully what widl and midl generate for the whole
dlls/rpcrt4/testss/server.idl. I tried to investigate more deeply what
midl does for all kinds of arrays, but that's enourmous amount of work
(conformant and varying arrays, strings, pointers of different types,
etc.) and I decided to make widl generate working code just for arrays
of strings, that's what I need at this point.
