The array machinery uses ElementProperties<T> to decide on certain
construction semantics. By default, element construction is done with the
default constructor, etc. We override these for the basic types to skip
construction. And we override these for types with shallow copy semantics to
properly make deep copies.

What I don't understand is why it isn't just using the general template.
Perhaps it isn't being included somewhere where it needs to be.
