It is implied by the signature of numeric_limits<T>::max:

template<class T> class numeric_limits
{
public:

    static T max() throw();

// ...
};

When T is an array type, this declaration is ill-formed. I'm not sure 
whether STL implementers are allowed to let a program that uses 
numeric_limits<X[N]> compile anyway, but they are certainly not required to. 
This probably applies to abstract classes as well.
