boost::array fails a ContainerConcept check in 1.32 due to it's lack of a const_pointer typedef:

Note that boost::array is not a (standard) conforming container anyway! Array, by design, has a fixed number of elements. The container concept requires the ability to add and remove elements. Likewise, the pointer and const_pointer requirements are part of allocator support. As boost::array does not support allocators, it should not need these elements and any tests requiring them is flawed. -- AlisdairM
