[Boost-users] accessing the underlying C array of a boost::array

Does anyone know what the preferred method of accessing the underlying C array 
of a boost::array is?  In boost 1.32 there is a data() member which returns a 
const pointer, and a c_array() member which returns a pointer.  Also, the 
elems member itself is public.  But at 
http://www.josuttis.com/cppcode/array.html, the author states that data() can 
be used for both const and non-const pointers, and indeed it is so in the 
version he posts on his website 
http://www.josuttis.com/cppcode/array.hpp.html (which doesn't provide the 
c_array() member but overloads data() instead).
