Dynamic arrays themselves do not have to be allocated on the heap.
A C++ std::vector is a valid dynamic array type, yet it's actual container
can exist on the stack. The data is on the heap, but where the data is
located is irrelevant. The important thing here is that any reference to
the same instance always affects that instance. It doesn't mysteriously
split off into another instance.
