That is not a simple type. And people who still remember the original Pascal will know that you do not want to encourage people to make the size part of the collection type. And it doesn't buy you much if you cannot prove at compile time that the type you use to index into the collecton cannot overflow the collection bounds. Use Ada if you need that.

But if you want you can also encode the sizes in binary or decimal numbers: http://apocalisp.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/type-level-program... http://www.ict.kth.se/forsyde/files/tutorial/apas03.html
