#11471: array is a sequence

Milestone:  Boost 1.60.0      |  Component:  test
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0      |   Severity:  Problem

------------------------------+---------------------
 According to docs of Boost.Test v3, a C-array is not recognized as a
 sequence, and cannot be used with sequence-based test assertions. I think
 it is an unjustified limitation.

 Instead of requiring that type T should have member functions .begin(),
 .size(), use the approach taken by Boost.Foreach, and only require of
 ranges, that the following expressions are valid:

   boost::begin(e),
   boost::end(e)

 There is no need to require size(), one can always compute it from
 `std::distance(begin(e), end(e))`.
