P1975R0 tweaks the static_cast wording: it says that "An expression e can be explicitly converted to a type T if [...] T is an aggregate type having a first element x and there is an implicit conversion sequence from e to the type of x." This already works for classes, e.g.:
struct Aggr { int x; int y; }; Aggr a = static_cast<Aggr>(1); albeit I noticed a -Wmissing-field-initializer warning which is unlikely to be helpful in this context, as there's nothing like static_cast<Aggr>(1, 2) to quash that warning. However, the proposal also mentions "If T is ``array of unknown bound of U'', this direct-initialization defines the type of the expression as U[1]" which suggest that this should work for arrays (they're aggregates too, after all). Ville, can you confirm that these int (&&r)[3] = static_cast<int[3]>(42); int (&&r2)[1] = static_cast<int[]>(42); are supposed to work now? There's no {} variant to check. Thanks.
