It's not something I would be using much personally, and many has the exact same reservationas as you.

This is at least the feedback I got on this proposal:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2225.html

But, I do find it irritating when I work with a legacy program at work and try to use "modern" libraries, that I can't transfer buffers explicitly, and have to pay for copying an already existing buffer.

Anyway, not something I have used for fixed_array yet.
