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.
