I think I'm confused by where this appended value lives. Is it only a
logical value or does the value show up in memory?
The logical value is null. The appended value is only a physical value
that shows up in memory but doesn't have any bearing on the logical value.
For example, appending another null to the name field is only going to
change the validity map, offsets array and length and there will not be any
changes the values buffer.
I may be missing some context, but what is the "name field" here?
(if we are talking about a child string array, then the rules are the
same as for any string array)
