what changes, in your opinion, would need to be made to the C array type to make it "sensible"? C's array is simplistic, but I don't think it's not "sensible"...

It would need to store a length and not decay to a pointer when passed to a function.
the length is part of the type.
consider the C++ std::array, which exists to make arrays behave like normal objects.
You can do the same in C by wrapping your array in a struct.
