+// first anon const like so: `{ [1; a] }`. The `b` anon const should not be allowed to use
+// any generic parameters as:

+// - The anon const is not the *length* of an array repeat expression, e.g. the `N` in `[1; N]`.
 //
-// On the other hand `b` *is* a repeat expr count and so it should inherit its
-// parents generics as part of the `const_evaluatable_unchecked` fcw (#76200).
+// On the other hand `a` *is* a const argument for the length of a repeat expression and
+// so it *should* inherit the generics declared on its parent definition. (This hack is
+// introduced for backwards compatibility and is tracked in #76200)
 //
-// In this specific case however `b`'s parent should be `a` and so it should wind
-// up not having any generics after all. If `a` were to inherit its generics from
-// the enclosing item then the reference to `a` from `b` would contain generic
-// parameters not usable by `b` which would cause us to ICE.

+// function `foo` then the reference to `a` from `b` would contain generic parameters not usable
