<Para>
It is not currently possible to resize an array value except by
complete replacement; for example, we couldn't change a four-
element array value to a five-element value with a single
assignment to array[5].
An array can be enlarged by assigning to an element adjacent to
those already present, or by assigning to a slice that is adjacent
to or overlaps the data already present. Currently, this is only
allowed for one-dimensional arrays, not multidimensional arrays.
For example, if an array value currently has 4 elements, it will
have five elements after an update that assigns to array[5].
