I don't think that should work - a static array is not a reference. Just use `[]` or init. Especially as there are no compile-time errors when the array length is > 0 for null, but there are for `[]`:

void f()
{
    int[1] b = []; // error
    int[1] a = null; // no error
    a = []; // error
    a = null; // no error
}

If null is implicitly convertable to a dynamic array type, I believe it should be accepted anywhere a dynamic array is accepted.

void f()
{
>     int[1] a = null; // no error
>     a = null; // no error
}

Those produce a rangle violation error at runtime. If size mismatches can be detected for [] at compile time, why can't they for 'null'?
