There are two sensible options:
I see the question as, is T[new] a value type or a reference type? I see
it as a reference type, and so assignment should act like a reference

Andrei says you think arrays are like slices with some extra
functionality, but slices are *not* a reference type, they are hybrids.
Do you think T[new] arrays should be fully reference types? (I do)
Otherwise, if you keep the "length is a value type" semantic, you get the
same crappy appending behavior we have now.
