Unfortunately, this particular operation is denoted by both sides.
Note -- it would be nice (and more consistent IMO) if arr[] =
range worked identically to arr[] = arr.
Range or array, there are still two ways how it can work. The
idea is to give the choice to programmer instead of the compiler.
Sorry, I had this wrong. The [] on the left hand side is
actually part of the []= operator.
There's no such operator. You can assign fixed-size array without
slice syntax.
