And probably never will, because C++ compatibility with C beyond what was done initially, is to one be close as possible but not at the expense of better alternatives that the language already offers.

Thus std::array, std::span, std::string, std::string_view, std::vector, with hardned options turned on.

For the static thing, the right way in C++ is to use a template parameter,

    template<typename T, int size>
    int foo(T (&ary)[size]) {
       return size;
    }

If you want to get fancy, you might make use of concepts, or constexpr to validate size at compile time.

Not surprising and not a "wart". C and C++ have diverged since the mid-90s and are two very different languages now. E.g. trying to build C code with a C++ compiler really doesn't make much sense anymore (since about 20 years).
