[Boost-users] [boost][array] Multi-dimensional initialization

At least under MSVC 8 I can do:

boost::array< boost::array<int,2>, 4 > foo = { -1,1, 0,0, 1,-1, 2,-2 };

or

int foo[4][2] = { {-1,1}, {0,0}, {1,-1}, {2,-2} };

or

boost::array<int,2> foo[4] = { {-1,1}, {0,0}, {1,-1}, {2,-2} };

but not

boost::array< boost::array<int,2>, 4 > foo = { {-1,1}, {0,0}, {1,-1}, 
{2,-2} };

just wondering why this is the case.
