I find the `new_default_refArray" name quite jarring. Could we follow the
`new_objArray` example and just have an overload?
// Regular object arrays
static objArrayOop new_objArray(Klass* klass, int length, TRAPS);
static objArrayOop new_objArray(Klass* klass, int length,
ArrayKlass::ArrayProperties properties, TRAPS);
...
objArrayOop oopFactory::new_objArray(Klass* klass, int length, TRAPS) {
return new_objArray(klass, length, ArrayKlass::ArrayProperties::DEFAULT,
THREAD);
}
