It seems to be that the array support in the Plugin API is still only
half complete with no way to create RB arrays. Specifically I'm
hoping to return an RB array from a function or modify one that was
passed in ByRef.
Submitted as a feature request. Is this a limitation encountered by
many people?

That's right. It was probably added to support specific needs, maybe
in the MS Office classes, and doesn't seem to be intended for general
use.
Specifically I'm hoping to return an RB array from a function or
modify one that was passed in ByRef.
It shouldn't need to be passed in ByRef in order to modify it. But you
would need modification methods -- IIRC, they're basically read-only to
a plugin.

I think the generally preferred idiom is to make your own container
class and accessor specific to your data. For example, see Group2D,
which is essentially a wrapper for an array of Object2Ds (plus some
additional functionality).
