-Const contexts that are used as parts of types (array type and repeat length expressions as well as const generic arguments) can only make restricted use of surrounding generic parameters: such an expression must either be a single bare const generic parameter, or an arbitrary expression not making use of any generics.
+Array type length expressions, array repeat length expressions, and const generic arguments are restricted in their use of outer generic parameters: such an expression must either be a single const generic parameter, or an expression that does not reference any generic parameters.
