--- Comment #4 from R. Diez <rdiez-2006 at rd10 dot de> ---
I just found out some more information on this.

C++ is counterintuitive here, as template ArrayElemCount is only actually using
type information.

This article considers it a language defect:
https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/stdarray-length-and-indexing/

That article mentions that this C++ language issue has been addressed in C++23
by P2280:
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2280r4.html

In the meantime, this C++11 implementation should do the trick. It uses a macro
as an intermediate step, but I can live with it:
