Subject: [boost] [array] assignment and constructor coherency

Hi,

Boost.Array defines the following assignment

  template (* typename U *)
  array(* T,N *)& operator=(const array(* U, N *)&);

as

std::copy(rhs.begin(),rhs.end(), begin())

Even if the standard doesn't provides this conversion assignment, for
coherency purposes, shouldn't we have also the copy constructor

  template (* typename U *)
  explicit array(* T,N *)(const array(* U, N *)&);

Best,
Vicente

P.S. Please replace (* and *) by angle brackets.
