Why magic? It seems silly the operator += doesn’t exist or even a basic operation set like “add”, “remove”, “insert” that every array implementation in every language has. Aren’t those just function around the existing dynamic array implementation in the compiler?

I have no idea if it’s worth it though. I personally don’t use dynamic arrays directly because they’re too bare bones so adding them at all wasn’t worth it for me. However, if the API was more robust I would start using them instead of my own class/record wrappers.
