Add make_array to folly
Summary: This function is being proposed in WG21, the C++ standards body for inclusion in the STL via the Library Fundamentals v2 TS. Using the normal constructor for a std::array with an initializer list introduces a source of coupling between the # of elements you put in the initializer list and the size of the array you specify as a template argument. Worse still, if you put less things in the initializer list than the template argument specifies, it doesn't warn you that you've probably made a pretty devious and subtle error. With this function your array size will always be the same as the # of things you actually put in it. What's more, in some cases this can deduce the type of the elements as well.
