It is implied by the signature of numeric_limits<T>::max:
template<class T> class numeric_limits
{
public:
static T max() throw();
// ...
};
When T is an array type, this declaration is ill-formed. I'm not sure
whether STL implementers are allowed to let a program that uses
numeric_limits<X[N]> compile anyway, but they are certainly not required to.
This probably applies to abstract classes as well.
