Sorry, it was an extra word. I admit that there is no way to mutate an arbitrary bunch of bytes in an array besides mutating a bunch of bytes in an array. My point was the one rhollerith makes here—frequently you can solve the same kinds of problems with similar performance by using trees instead of arrays.
