That would be great. Question about the type: it won't be int[n] as n
is runtime not compile time.
would it be int[] or some other type?

pros of  some other type:
makes some optimizations that benefit from the fact it's stack
allocated possible
cons: we need to be able to reuse existing algos that don't make such
distinction.

maybe another type that would satisfy both type traits:
isDynamicArray!T
isAllocaArray!T
