Disclaimer: I only care about std::array. std::vector is obviously different.

The std::array::data() function returns a pointer to the underlying data in the array: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/array/data

Furthermore, my understanding is that the std::array class will act like a simple struct with no overhead, that is, something like std::array<int, 3> would be functionally equivalent to

struct Int3 {
   int a,b,c;
};

This seems to imply to me that we should always find that for an std::array called arr

&arr == arr.data()

Will this always be true? or is there something I am overlooking?
