My C knowledge is very meagre. Since I have

   const int sz=3;

doesn't this mean that the array "int arr[sz]" has a constant, hence
fixed, size? Certainly not shown in my tiny example, my original
intention was not to provide a complete intialization list, but only
a certain fixed leftmost portion, with the rest to be done via code.
(The leftmost portion has certain characteristics not shared by the
rest of the elements of the array, so it is convenient to specify them
individually in the initialization list.)
