C2 doesn't have growable arrays in the sense that they can grow during runtime. They can 'grow' during compilation. The C2 compiler just
merges all the 'array += value' declarations and creates a single (static) array. The may goal was to avoid having to use complicated macros when
you want to extend both an enum and a  data structure that uses the enum constants as index.
