I'm not sure about this.  I can imagine someone wanting it to work when the
length is a template parameter, in order to initialise only the first n members
where n is fixed.

And should we allow a value to precede the ..., like

    int[100] arr = [1, 2, 42...];

(all elements beyond the first two initialised to 42)?
