C has such types and can guarantee that there is no out-of-bounds access at run-time in the scenarios you describe: https://godbolt.org/z/f7Tz7EvfE This is one reason why I think that C - despite all the naysayers - is actually perfectly positioned to address bounds-safe programming.

Often in dependently-types languages one also tries to prove at compile-time that the dynamic index is inside the dynamic bound at run-time, but this depends.
