There is no documentation stating how static void arrays are implemented.

In particular, what is their actual element size? It seems they're byte-sized:

void main()
{
    byte[2] x;
    int[2] y;

    void[2] a = x;  // ok
    void[2] b = y;  // runtime error: 8 bytes does not fit into 2 bytes
}

But this needs to be documented. The last statement should probably also be a
compile-time error.
