What do you think about:
----
import std.stdio;

auto ref U[N] s(U, alias N)(auto ref U[N] arr) pure nothrow @safe @property
@nogc 
    if (__traits(compiles, { size_t i = N; }))
{
    return arr;
}

void test1(T)(T[3] arr) {

}

void test2(T)(auto ref T[3] arr) {

}

void main() {
    auto a = s([1, 2, 3]);
    writeln(typeid(a));

    auto b = [1, 2, 3].s;
    writeln(typeid(b));

    test1([1, 2, 3]);
    test1([1, 2, 3].s);
    test2([1, 2, 3].s);
}
