There's one more question about arrays.

If the garbage collector moves data referenced by p, i guess all
pointers to slices of p will be updated correctly.  

What if i set p to null or p goes out of scope and q is still
reachable, will the memory (before q.ptr and after q.ptr + q.length -
1) that was pointed to by p be reclaimed by the garbage collector?
