A dynamic array is *not* an array of pointers. A TList is implemented as an
array of pointers. A (one-dimensional) dynamic array variable is a pointer
to a heap object. Like strings, there is a reference count and length
(number of elements) at negative offsets, with contiguous space for the
array elements at positive offsets. There is a record of type
TDynArrayTypeInfo associated with each array instance, which contains the
element size among other things, but that is out of our reach (as far as I
can tell).
