Box::new + &[…] notation

 ## setup
 
+In module `common`, I have:

+pub enum Value {

+  Str(String),
+  Int(isize),
+  Date(DateTime<chrono::Utc>)
+}
+
+pub type Record<'a> = HashMap<&'a str, Value>;

+(in a future version, `Value` will probably become recursive, with a variant `Vec<Value>` for example)

 In module `modules`, I have:

-const available: [Available] = [

+const available: &[Available] = &[

 ```
 
 with `available` being an array of available modules, each having a name and a constructor.
 
+However, I rather fail to see the reason for:
+
+* `Box`: In my case, it will be set forever, and be unmutable; and fn is a pointer anyway, so fixed-size…
+* `&[…]` notation: In this case, `available` is a constant, and I suppose its size is known at compile-time, so there shouldn’t be the need for a reference.

 ## problem
 
-The above code gives me these errors (which I suspect are hiding the next error about `"equals"` probably being `&str` instead of `String`…):
