The array underlying a slice may extend past the end of the slice.
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;
a slice of length up to that capacity can be created by

visible only in the current source file, like a top-level <code>static</code> declaration in a C file.
Adding an offset to the name refers to that offset from the symbol's address, so
<code>foo+4(SB)</code> is four bytes past the start of <code>foo</code>.
