Spent some time debugging because I didn't notice it at first,
essentially something like this:
int[3] foo = [1, 2, 3];
foo = 5;
writeln(foo); // 5, 5, 5
Why does such code compile? I don't think this should be
permitted, because it's easy to make a mistake (when you wanted
foo[index] but forgot the []). If someone wants to assign a
value to every element they could do foo[] = 5; instead which
is explicit.
What's your opinion on using that syntax in the initial
declaration, like `float[16] foo = 0`?
