Initialize std::array with a range (pair of iterators)

Question

How can I initialize an std::array from a range (as defined by a pair of iterators)?

Something like this:

vector v;
...
// I kn

Like you have noticed, std::array has no constructors at all (except for the compiler generated default constructor).

This was done on purpose, so it can be statically initialized just like a C array. If you want to fill the array without a static initializer, you will have to copy your data.
