[Bug c++/16333] New: More array vs ptr stuff

["bangerth at dealii dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Another instance where we decay arrays too quickly to pointers: 
------------------ 
struct X { 
    X (const int (&)[3]); 
}; 
 
int a[3]; 
X foo () { return a; } 
X bar () { return X(a); } 
------------------ 
bar() compiles, foo() doesn't: 
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.5-pre/bin/c++ -c x.cc 
x.cc: In function `X foo()': 
x.cc:7: error: conversion from `int*' to non-scalar type `X' requested 
 
I think it should (and so does icc).
