I don't think that working boolalpha support is relevant to the array
library. So I think that adding BOOST_NO_BOOLALPHA would be overkill.
Instead, perhaps we can just dumb down array5.cpp by doing

    (a.empty() ? "true" : "false")

and adding a comment that explains why we don't use boolalpha.

I'd feel differently if the boolalpha feature was more closely related to
the class being tested.
