I would submit a simple change request in the boost::array library. ... I suggest to change: T* c_array() { return elems; }

into T (&c_array())[N] { return *(T(*)[N]) elems; }

No need to change the original implementation of array::c_array()! Your change of its return type should be sufficient:

T (&c_array())[N] { return elems; }

Why not simply accessing elems directly? It's public.
