[boost] [bug] using boost::range and boost::array in MSVC 6.0

MSVC 6.0 gives an internal compiler error when I include the following 
headers in the order below:

#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <boost/range.hpp>

   The reason for this ICE (besides MSVC 6.0 being a non-conformant 
compiler) is the fact that several files in the boost/range/ subdirectory 
declare functions having a parameter called "array".  It seems that MSVC has 
problems realizing that this is the name of a new variable, not an already 
existing class.  When I renamed these parameters everything compiled fine. 
Would it be possible to change these parameters to a name that isn't the 
name of a boost class, something like c_array maybe?

Thank you,

Joe Gottman
