I don't see why shape(2;*) is not a problem and shape(*;2) is a problem for an lvalue array, either each one (lazily?) demands an even number of elements, or they both fail. In general, multiply the size of the known dimensions, and that's the number of elements you need to fill up one more in the unspecified dimension direction. I do see a problem if there's more than one unspecified dimension. Though I suppose an array of shape(*;*) as an lvalue might be a constraint allowing assignment only of another 2D array?
