Just a suffix like `[1,2]$` or `[1]s`. Then just use `auto var

Gotcha. I think I would use that more than the current DIP
(though I prefer [1]s to [1]$).
Of course, the typical response would be, "well why not use alias
s = static array". I would ask what about an @nogc unittest where
the author is trying to limit calls to functions that aren't
really central to what is being tested. The next best alternative
is something like `enum immutable x = [1];` and then using `x`.
Building that static array literal functionality into the
compiler would be useful in that case.
