[BUG]: Invalid typing for std::array? #3912

Problem description
When returning a std::array, the typing information is invalid, e.g. List[str[2]] for the code below. This causes tool such as mypy's stubgen or pybind11-stubgen to produce invalid stubs.
I guess it would be valid to generate List[str] in this case since Python does not have information about the size anyway?
Reproducible example code
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <pybind11/stl.h>
namespace py = pybind11;
PYBIND11_MODULE(cpp_module, m)
{
m.def("arr", []() -> std::array<const char*, 2> {
return {"foo", "bar"};
});
}

Oddly enough, this is expected and tested behavior:
pybind11/tests/test_stl.py
Line 42 in 75007dd
Fix pybind#3912

@henryiii Any idea how we can support typing extensions?
