Is there a use case for 0-length static arrays?

If there's not a use-case, then this should probably be a compiler error:

int[0] logs;  // <- disallow this

void main()
{
    logs = [4];
}

The assignment statement causes a linker error (if you comment it out you won't
get any linker errors):
/+
test.obj(test)  Offset 002DFH Record Type 009D
 Error 16: Index Range
--- errorlevel 1
