Even if the length is increased beyond the size that has been allocated for
a dynamic array? I thought that DMD allocated a new block of the right size
and copied data from the old block to it then released the old block back
to the GC.
 
I think that if the length is decreased then no copying goes on and that no
memory is released back to the GC, but can be later reused if the length
then is increased anywhere up to the original allocation size.
