yeah you got it finally, it's about checking that during 
compilation directly.
if the RHS is an Ident and if that ident is 
`ident(staticarrayof)`, then let's type the exp as a static array 
instead.

anyway, life is so.

That would add some complexity tho. The goal of a language 
(compared to another, older) is to avoid those special case 
actually.
