The fixed-size array-of-char specializations seem like a good idea, but (the
user) can fall into the same trap as the (v3) filesystem constructor does
(trac #4640), e.g.:
char buffer[100];
strcpy(buffer, "100");
construe_cast<int>(buffer);
Depending on how the size (100) is taken into account, this may or may not be
an issue.
