// Class  :     propagate_const_array
// Description: Propagate const to array-like objects. Based on C++ experimental std::propagate_const.
//              If used with an array of incomplete type, edm::propagate_const_array can only be declared
//              and assigned to nullptr, but not assigned to an actual object or dereferenced.
