The problem here is that the "unspecified bool type" is not a member pointer 
under /clr because it doesn't work. I see that I used a function pointer to 
avoid this problem, but apparently, function pointers can be indexed with 
operator[] (even though it makes no sense to do so), which results in the 
ambiguity being reported.

This is technically a scoped_array issue, but I have no idea how to fix it, 
so the easiest approach is to make count_type ptrdiff_t under /clr (#ifdef 
_MANAGED).
