Thanks. It's clear now. AA holds not `array struct` itself
inside, but pointer to it.
How the array is stored in the AA doesn't matter, as far as I can
see. The point is that you obtain a pointer to the array struct
in the AA, not a copy.
If you had tried it like the following, mapElem would be a copy
of the array struct in the AA, and the append would not affect
mapka["item"]:
----
string[] mapElem = "item" in mapka ? mapka["item"] :
(mapka["item"] = []);
mapElem ~= ["dog", "cat", "horse", "penguin", "fish", "frog"];

So reallocation affects ptr to allocated memory but not pointer
to `array struct`. I think that's it.
Correct.
