Well I don't know what to say. I agree with some of your points

I know it's impossible to please everyone and I'm not sure how

One thing that the library-auto solution does not provide is the
*granularity* of what I ask the compiler to infer.
I want the compiler to infer some things, like the length of the
static array, but not others, like the type of the elements.
What if I want to go from
float[$] = [1.09, 1.1];
to
int[$] = [1, 1];
but instead I make a mistake and I write:
int[$] = [1, 1.1 /* note that I forgot to drop the decimals here
*/ ];
The "auto" will give me a floating point array, the program might
work for a while, than unexpected bugs start arising.
Propensity for bike-shedding behind the covers of intellectual
refinement puzzles me.
