"use of class template `template <T> class Array' as expression"

[Paul Reilly]

I don't think the following code should generate this error.  I posted
this many months ago, but as Martin v. Loewis pointed out I didn't
include all the necessary information.  I've simplified the .cc file
and hopefully have included all the information necessary this time.

Thanks,
Paul
