auto arr = [1, 2, 3] should be a static array, not a GC allocated array

Looks good but 'array' is a legal identifier. :( Luckily nothing some 
creative acrostic can't fix:

   int[static alias,ref,return,assert,'y'] arr;

(Programmers would be free to use any keyword they like.)

That 'y' literal is an obvious eye sore. So we can expand the syntax to 
specify which character of each keyword is used for the acrostic. I 
utilize 'static' for that purpose as well:

   // 0-based indexing for consistency
   int[static static(1)
              ,cast
              ,break
              ,private
              ,false
              ,synchronized] arr;
           //   ^
           //   |
           // Character 1 of each keyword reads "array"

Ok, too much silliness for one day. I stop here.
