Re: numeric_limits<array type> generates a compiler error

No, you can pass every type that can be a valid return type of a
function. The actual intention of
std::numeric_limits is to query scalar-like "value types". It won't
work for function types, nor for
array types or for abstract types, for example.

Yes, you need your own intermediate layer if you want to support every
type to query for.
