I don't understand this assertion that ISO C++ supports
variable-size arrays.  ISO C++98 shows the expression in an
array-declarator to be a constant-expression (see section 8.3.4).
If a later version of ISO C++ does support variable-size
arrays--I don't have any later version of the standard--then why
not test that __cplusplus is at least that version?
