You can actually create, using Object.defineProperty, an array that doesn't have foreign accessors as its length anymore. At that point values don't get deleted anymore when you reduce the length. This means you can create a "packed array" which has elements beyond its length (which you can find just by reading them).

Also, given that forEach reads the length before starting to loop, it means that
the array essentially becomes "holey" at the moment you shorted the length
dynamically; in the sense that you have to look for elements beyond the actual length of the array. Those elements can come from the prototype chain; and can
obviously be a getter or so.
