It is unclear whether the phrase "first element" of an array refers to the initial element or to the element with subscript 1.
Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2025-11-06):
Change in 9.3.4.5 [dcl.array] paragraph 6 as follows:
An object of type “array of N U” consists of a contiguously allocated non-empty set of N subobjects of type U, known as the elements of the array, and numbered 0 to N-1. The element numbered 0 is termed the first element of the array.
