Here is an updated patch.

Interdiff is just
+static_assert (foo () == std::meta::reflect_constant_array (m));
+static_assert (foo () == std::meta::reflect_constant_array (std::span <const int[3][3]> (m)));
...
+static_assert (bar () == std::meta::reflect_constant_array (n));
+static_assert (bar () == std::meta::reflect_constant_array (std::span <const int[3][3]> (n)));
in reflect_constant_array10.C test.

2026-04-10  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

	* reflect.cc (adjust_array_elt): New function.
	(get_range_elts): Implement LWG4483 - Multidimensional arrays are not
	supported by meta::reflect_constant_array and related functions.
	Handle ARRAY_TYPE valuet.  Don't unshare_expr in the class valuet case,
	get_template_param_object will unshare.

	* g++.dg/reflect/reflect_constant_array9.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/reflect/reflect_constant_array10.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/reflect/reflect_constant_array11.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/reflect/define_static_array6.C: New test.
	* g++.dg/reflect/define_static_object2.C: Uncomment older tests and
	fix them, add tests for unions.

	* include/std/meta (define_static_object): Adjust for LWG4483 changes
	- handle unions and arrays differently.
