The [SliceAt(typ Type, p unsafe.Pointer, len int)] function
returns a Value representing a slice whose underlying array starts

// it has sufficient capacity, the destination is resliced to accommodate the
// new elements. If it does not, a new underlying array will be allocated.
// Append returns the updated slice. It is therefore necessary to store the
// result of append, often in the variable holding the slice itself:
//
//	slice = append(slice, elem1, elem2)
//	slice = append(slice, anotherSlice...)
//

The [Repeat] function returns a new slice that repeats the

The <i>capacity</i> is a measure of that extent: it is the sum of
the length of the slice and the length of the array beyond the slice;
