[Boost-users] problems with boot::multi_array and standard algorithms

I cant get boost::multi_array to wrk with STL algorithms. In particular

boost::multi_array<int,2> test_array( boost::extents[10][10] );
std::fill(test_array.begin(),test_array.end(),1);

gives me the following compile errors.

Do the provided iterators not work for stl algorithms?
