no, it's dynamic array that have `.length`. compiler magic. assigning
`null` to dynamic array variable does some magic under the hood.

dynamic array is actually this: `struct { size_t len; void* ptr};`.
when you assign `null` to dynamic array variable, compiler generates
code to clear both `len` and `ptr`. think about dynarray var as kind
of 'fat pointer', which compiler knows how to operate.
