In practice, static readonly arrays are pretty useless.

Sure, you cannot reassign the array itself, but you can replace individual values. The "readonly" just makes you think it cannot be changed, which is bad because you end up with mistakes like System.IO.Path.InvalidPathChars.

Since some malicious code may change an InvalidPathChars entry, it is useless for validation.

The following code compiles with no problem:

const int[] constArray = null;

constArray[0] = 1;
