… syntax. [array.zero] paragraph 2 says > In the case that N == 0, begin() == end() == unique value. The usage of double equals indicates this is a C++ expression. But in C++, "a == b == c" means "(a==b) == c" which is "bool value == c". Besides, it doesn't say anything about the result of that expression at all. I think the intent of this wording is that, the return value of begin() and end() are the same unique value.
