Magento 2 di.xml reuse array arguments

In Magento 2 di.xml we can inject an array to a class like this:

<type name="VendorModuleModelFoo">
  <arguments>
    <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
      <item name="item1" xsi:type="string">Item 1</item>
      <item name="item2" xsi:type="string">Item 2</item>
    </argument>
  <arguments>
</type>

How can we inject the same data array to another class VendorModuleModelBar without duplicating it like this?

<type name="VendorModuleModelBar">
  <arguments>
    <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
      <item name="item1" xsi:type="string">Item 1</item>
      <item name="item2" xsi:type="string">Item 2</item>
    </argument>
  <arguments>
</type>

VirtualType only works for objects, sadly.
