My question is more about what's proper warning category for this. Since we are going to warn about array parameters with constant sizes too, it probably makes more sense to introduce a new category of warning (`-Warray-parameter-size-confusion`) or put it a sub category of (`-Wshadow`) so something like (`-Wshadow-array-parameter-size-confusion`), instead of putting it under `-Wvla`.
