Description

  1. Perhaps add a new struct StaticSizeArray which would have size as a type parameter instead of a field.

  2. Perhaps parameterize FixedSizeArray by the element type of the size field. I'm not sure how likely this is to be useful, but I know that GPU programs tend to avoid 64-bit values, so perhaps this would be a desired next step after #52.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing FixedSizeArray implementation and the discussion referenced in #52. The issue presents two tentative design options rather than a settled scope; done would require choosing and agreeing on a specific size representation before implementation.
