Array controls specify the array size through the YAML 'size' element,
which stores a list of values, one per dimension. Variable-size arrays
currently use an empty 'size' list, which prevents describing the number
of dimensions of the array.

Improve this by using the same notation for fixed-size and variable-size
array controls. Dimensions that are not fixed are described as a string
instead of an integer, such as [n], [n,3] or [w,h]. The strings have
currently no special meaning, this may change in the future.

I can't tell what's best between [] and [n]

For what I can see [n,3] doesn't give much in terms of parse-time
correctness but it's just a notion for the reader of the
documentation, so yeah, nice but I would like to understand first why
Christian proposed initially to go from [n] to [].

Thanks

At the moment it's for the reader only, I can imagine using it in the
Control class too in the future, but I'm not sure if there would be any
use case for that beside showing that C++ templates can do crazy stuff.
