If stack space is limited, then why not just allocate the static
array on the heap with something like:

         typedef
       int
     elem_t
     ;
         typedef
       bounds3<2,3,4>
     bounds_t
     ;
         typedef
      array
      < elem_t
      , bounds_t
      , true
      , null::allocator
      >::type
    array_static_t
    ;
      array_static_t*
    p_static=new array_static_t;

?  You would then have only 1 call to any allocator
instead of 3 and save space on the heap besides.
