distinct arrays always represent distinct storage.
</p>
<p>
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
<a href="#Slice_expressions"><i>slicing</i></a> a new one from the original slice.

// sum returns the sum (concatenation, for strings) of its arguments.
func sum[T ~int | ~float64 | ~string](x... T) T { … }

x := sum                       // illegal: the type of x is unknown
intSum := sum[int]             // intSum has type func(x... int) int
a := intSum(2, 3)              // a has value 5 of type int
b := sum[float64](2.0, 3)      // b has value 5.0 of type float64
