Description

It'd be nice to have a convenience syntax (macro) to initialise a FixedSizeArray without having to create an undef on first and then setting its elements, something like @SArray and friends in StaticArrays.jl. This is definitely a low-priority right now, but nice to have.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by comparing the linked StaticArrays.jl @SArray syntax with FixedSizeArray's current undef-then-assignment construction; done means a supported convenience syntax can immediately initialize a fixed-size array from its elements.
