"implicitly allocate" is slightly misleading, imho. It's promoted to a static. There's no malloc involved.

Maybe. I just meant that storage is created implicitly (static or stackframe depending on the case), then a reference is created to that.,

Totally, I don't think you're wrong, just like, people read "allocate" in different ways. I wish words were clearer, heh.
