Static arrays have two conflicting definitions in the specs. One is any fixed-length array (in Static Arrays section on Arrays page) and the other is statically allocated fixed-length arrays, which narrows the previous definition without modifying the term or introducing a new term (in the section on static array initializers). Possible disambiguation:
any fixed-length arrays - fixed-length arrays
statically allocated fixed-length arrays - static fixed-length arrays
