It would be possible to allow this syntax :
  move(data ...
in addition to the current :
  move(data[0] ...

There is no fundamental reason why it wouldn't be possible. The compiler would 
generate the correct code as you mentioned.
Every newbie is struggling with this syntax. I remember struggling with it 
myself. It is not intuitive at all.
