Perhaps you can make nested functions work there, but they seem very
dubious when not actually within a function body. Whereas since array
size expressions can include calls to other functions, or recursively to
the same function, or indeed jump out of the evaluation of array size
expressions with longjmp, statement expressions seem more reasonable there
(though if they attempt to jump into the body of the function that might
be problematic).
