Hi Nico,

| As I got no feedback so far:
| Did anybody look at it and is anybody interested?

Or wasn't anybody being on holidays? :-)

| 
| However, I got some indirect feedback due to feeback to
| my book.
|  It seems, that also Matt mentioned such a class in his book.
|  This class is called "block".
|  He implementes the class as POD (making the internal array public),
|  so that the following is
|  possible:
|   carray<int,6> a = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
| 
| This seems to be an important improvement.
| In addition, he introduces op==, op<, swap(), and reverse iterators.
| 
| So, I will present a new version
| (in case, anybody is interested).
| 
| However, one question remains:
| - Which name should we take?
|     c_array, carray, block?
|    Is one of these name used in a library alreay?

As Greg proposed, why not 'array'?

Best,
