Index type of static array is always size_t, so suffix is not only just
redundant, but also is harmful for platform independent diagnostic message.

  alias T = int[10];
  pragma(msg, T);
  // should print `int[10]` rather than `int[10u]` or `int[10LU]`.

Similar problem exists in IndexExp and SliceExp

  int[] arr;
  pragma(msg, (arr[0]).stringof);        // arr[cast(uint)0]
  pragma(msg, (arr[0..1]).stringof);     // arr[cast(uint)0..cast(uint)1]
  // should print arr[0] and arr[0..1]

But, it would need to keep "cast(...)" output for some cases

  pragma(msg, (arr[int.min]).stringof);  // arr[cast(uint)-2147483648]
