We can define static array without counting the elements as

uint[array_.length] static_array = array_;
there are workarounds, of course. yet i'll take mine `uint[$]
a = [1u,2,3,4];` over that quoted mess at any time, without
second thought. ;-)
I think you may write it (I mean actual D) with using some
template like this:
yeah. but i'm not Andrei, i don't believe that the only
compiler task is to resolve templated code. ;-) i.e. Andrei
believes that everything (and more) should be moved out of
compiler core and done with library templates. Andrei is
genius, for sure, but he is living somewhere in future, where
our PCs are not bound by memory, CPU, and other silly
restrictions. ;-)
tl;dr: using template for this sux.
I just don't understand how is it worth to add to a language that
instead of typing someArray.length you can just type $ but it is
not ok to add to the language the same thing for static array
size...
