Is it okay to expose local comptime-known const variables?

Help

This is similar to a question I posed a while ago: Do comptime variables have "static" lifetime?

The example that @kristoff gave could be modified to suite your needs here because it shows up as part of a type definition.

fn foo() [] u32 {
  const Internal = struct {
     var a = [_] u32 {5, 6};
  };
  return &Internal.a;
}

fn bar() [] const u32 {
  const Internal = struct {
     const a = [_] u32 {5, 6};
  };
  return &Internal.a;
}

pub fn main() !void {
    std.debug.print("\n{any}\n", .{ foo() });
    std.debug.print("\n{any}\n", .{ bar() });
}
