I must be remembering an old behavior. I think appending could affect
the original if it had enough capacity.
Before the array append changes were introduced (somewhere around 2.040 I
think?), appending to a slice that started at the beginning of the memory
block could affect the other data in the array. But that was a memory
corruption issue, somewhat different than what we are talking about.
