Sorry, I misspoke - I didn't mean the runtime (what would that really be?) but the compilers. That is, I do not know, a priori, that the internal type system would deal equally well with constant sized arrays, as with variable based ones. Currently the size of all variables on stack is determined at compile time, and the compiler generates code for those offsets. If this now changes, one would have to see what needs to change in the compiler internally, and the executable that gets output by it.
It can certainly "be done", but things need to change in order to accomodate it as part of the language.
