Template value parameter types can be any type which can be statically

I have needed arrays as template specialization arguments few times (I
have used alias to solve the problem). Allowing strings but not arrays
is one limitation that I don't understand.
An array literal is a runtime-initialized entity, much to the chagrin of
Don and others (like myself).
There have been several pushes to try and get Walter to change array
literals to immutable compile-time things, but it has so far not been
accepted.
