That's too bad. :( The array size would have been a valuable piece of 
information for creating the wrappers. Without them I have to wade 
through ~250 methods manually to check if the arguments are really plain 
pointers or fixed size arrays as above (which seems to be the majority 
of cases in the Maya SDK)...

In which case does pygccxml create an array_t object then?
