Comment (by Olaf van der Spek <olafvdspek@…>):

 That requires temp vars for both input and output.

 {{{
 string g() { return "Olaf"; }
 void f(array<char, 20> const&);

 f(make_array(g())); // desired

 {
   string s = g();
   array<char, 20> a;
   std::copy(s.begin(), s.end(), a.begin());
   f(a);
 }
 }}}

 IMO the one liner looks much better than the 6 liner and the 6 liner can't
 even do size checking.
