Agreed. Initializers' type deductions should automatically use the most specialized type that can accomodate all the values.
Same thing for delegate/function literal return-type deductions.
so ["foo", "bar"] should be char[3][2], as currently, but ["foo", "barf"] should use char[][2] automatically, (int i) { if (i) return 2; else return 3f; } should be float delegate(int).

That falls under "small stuff that adds to language polish". And language polish, in the long run, is probably more important than groundbreaking features.

Please think about it. :)
