 Thanks, Marchall. Unfortunately the standard library issue, [http://www

 .open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2010/n3020.html#930 LWG #930,
 Access to std::array data as built-in array type], has been rejected. I do
 not entirely understand why.

 Anyway, a non-member function like {{{get_c_array(array<T,N>&)}}} (as I
 suggested here before at comment [comment:2]) would also be fine to me.
