WIP: Add C++11 array

[jakirkham]

Adds the std::array interface. Requires C++11 to use. Not sure how this is handled currently.

EDIT: Currently blocked waiting for #426.

While I'd love to see this work, I think there's a big problem. Currently(and AFAIK), Cython's compiler/code generator does not support non-type template parameters such as the size_t.

[jakirkham]

I was also wondering about this issue of templates with non-type parameters. Oh well, I guess I can leave it here for someone to work on once that changes. Is there an issue already open for this enhancement?

[molpopgen]

Yes, pull request #426, but it is failing tests right now.

Also, your tests will fail as written, even if the type could compile. You need to provide the size_t for the calls to begin, end, etc,. too, as each different size_t would be a different std::array.

By this, I am assuming you mean the type used to store these variables; not that the methods themselves needed to be templated in some fashion. This has been addressed.

Based on the discussion in the linked PR, it sounds like the manner in which templating of this nature may occur is still under active discussion. I'll revisit this once that gets settled and merged.

That's right--the new tests have the correct syntax.
