Description
I wonder if we could add support for Base.emptymutable in StructArrays? For arrays it behaves like similar but with guarantee that you can push!, etc to the output (while similar outputs must support setindex! but not necessarily resizing), and is used internally in various algorithms (and occassionally in the package ecosystem, e.g. xref https://github.com/JuliaData/SplitApplyCombine.jl/pull/54).

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by comparing StructArrays' existing array-construction methods with Julia's Base.emptymutable behavior; done means StructArrays supports the requested mutable, resizable output and the behavior is covered by appropriate tests.
