[boost] More fun with arrays

A while back Joel de Guzman pointed out that tuple, variant and optional 
were all variations on a theme.  There is a similar relationship between 
boost::array and tuple, where tuple is a container for N heterogenous 
elements, array is the homogeneous couterpart.

It would be relatively trivial to supply the same discovery interface for 
array as is required for tuple  i,e, get<>, tuple_size, and anything else 
I'm missing.

The fact we have not had to implement this already probably indicates there 
is no real need for it, but there is a pleasing symmetry <g>

Is this worth pursuing, or am I off in a world of my own again?
