Comment (by cornedbee):

 > the standard library provides the syntax (istream >> char []) and
 (ostream << char const [])

 No, it provides istream >> char* and ostream << char const*. As such, you
 can quite easily use the c_array() and data() members to get pointers to
 the data: istream >> ar.c_array() and ostream << ar.data().
