An arbitrary N will only make it abuse-friendly and potentially mask bugs. IMO
if we choose to make multiple levels here it should only be
-fstrict-flex-arrays={1,2} where 1 (the default) only allows "[]" and 2 allows
"[0]", disabling all other size values. For anything else,
-fno-strict-flex-arrays. My opinion on the default is not strong FWIW.
