template matching variable size array

g++34 supports variable size arrays.
There is some support, but it was never really designed.  No thought was 
given to how they interact with other C++ language features.  As such, 
you should not expect that variable size arrays will work with all C++ 
features, or that they will even work at all.  It is probably safe if 
you stick with very simple constructs, but anything complicated is 
probably risky.

It is also possible that the feature will be removed or modified in 
future g++ releases.  VLAs were added to ISO C99, and they are different 
than the old gcc dynamic arrays.  I think we still have a mixture of 
dynamic array and VLA support in the C front end.  It is possible that 
VLAs will be added to a future ISO C++ standard, and when that happens, 
they will probably not be the same as the VLA support currently in the 
C++ front end.  In which case g++ will be modified to match the standard.
