--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 I'm using boost 1.44 with MSVC 2010.

 It seems that proto::N cannot be used as array size wildcard with types
 other than char with this compiler.

 For example, using the following grammar:

 {{{
 struct grammar:
   proto::terminal<wchar_t[proto::N]>
 {};
 }}}

 leads to the following compilation error:

 {{{
 traits.hpp(382): error C2148: total size of array must not exceed
 0x7fffffff bytes
 1>          matches.hpp(409) : see reference to class template
 instantiation 'boost::proto::terminal<T>' being compiled
 1>          with
 1>          [
 1>              T=wchar_t [2147483647]
 1>          ]
 1>          matches.hpp(1005) : see reference to class template
 instantiation 'boost::proto::detail::matches_<Expr,Grammar>' being
 compiled
 ...
 }}}

 Test source attached.
