If you have an empty array of const(int)[], you can't assign to its elements,
but you can still append to it. In the same way, with an AA of type
const(int)[string], there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to grow the AA.

Such a function would be good to have for performance reasons as well (as
mentioned in passing by OP).
