4280,Cannot get array type from boost::array,anonymous,Marshall Clow,"There is no function to get array from the boost::array.
c_array returns pointer, and operator[] returns reference.

There must be additional function, as_array.

array<T, N>
{  
 typedef T array_type[N];

 array_type&       as_array()       { return elems; }
 array_type const& as_array() const { return elems; }
  
}

It is needed to allow optimizations when function has special overload for arrays.
Like std::copy in VC compiler:

1. copy(Input first, Input last, Output dest)
2. copy(Input first, Input last, OutElem (&dest)[size])",Feature Requests,closed,Boost 1.43.0,array,Boost 1.44.0,Optimization,duplicate,,
