I disagree with the claim it's required to work.  It's true that container

requirements have been relaxed so requirements on types are more fine-grained

and only apply to specific operations, but std::vector<const int> instantiates

std::allocator<const int> and that creates ambiguous overloads of

std::allocator<const int>::address(reference) and std::allocator<const

int>::address(const_reference) because reference and const_reference are the

same type.



I would argue it's required not to work, based on the explicit definition of

std::allocator given in the C++11 standard.



I've been thinking about altering std::allocator so it works though, so I'll

confirm this as an extension.
