Is this the intended design? Is there a workaround which allows me to ensure that the parameter is exactly 2 length?

I'm just going to assert at runtime instead of at compile time.
assert(args[0].length == 2);

That's a good workaround, only a minor inconvenience it can't be caught at compile time.
