Should we remove int[$] before 2.067?

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.
