I believe this is because of the signature: `pub fn from_fn<T, const N: usize, F>(cb: F) -> [T; N] where F: FnMut(usize) -> T,` While T is unconstrained, N is a usize, which is used in the closure, which we then re-use as the element.

OK this is just kinda funny - I was right, but only by accident. For some reason I thought that the literal defaulted to usize not i32. The fact that this path makes my assertion of usize correct is pretty cool though. Thanks for diving into it!
