Thanks to RFC 2203, code like the following compiles on nightly:

fn main() {
    let _: [Option<Box<i32>>; 4] = [None; 4];
}

However, as pointed out by @RalfJung, the same code fails to compile in a const block (Playground):

const _: [Option<Box<i32>>; 4] = [None; 4];

Currently, there's two distinct implementations for promotion of temps, one for fn and const fn and one for const and static. RFC 2203 is implemented for the first but not the second.

I didn't see an actual issue for this. I'll close this as a dupe if @RalfJung already opened one.

suggest `const_in_array_repeat_expression` flag

This PR adds a suggestion to add the `#![feature(const_in_array_repeat_expression)]` attribute to the crate when a promotable expression is used in a repeat expression and the feature gate is not enabled.

Unfortunately, this ended up being a little bit more complex than I anticipated, which may not have been worth it given that this would all be removed when the feature is stabilized. However, with rust-lang#65732 and rust-lang#65737 being open, and the feature gate having not been being suggested to potential users, the feature might not be stabilized in a while, so maybe this is worth landing.
