`return std::prev(current).operator->();`

If the `_Iter` type is a fancy pointer from an allocator, this _expression_ will reduce to a raw pointer since fancy pointers usually implement an `operator->` to a raw pointer

I think it's more appropriate for a fancy pointer to have alias `pointer` refer to itself rather than a raw pointer

It might make more sense (not sure if best though) to check if `_Iter` is same as the iterator pointer, kinda like:
`std::is_same_v<_Iter, std::iterator_traits<_Iter>::pointer>` in the `if constexpr` condition:
```
#if _LIBCPP_STD_VER >= 20
 _LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI constexpr pointer operator->() const
    requires is_pointer_v<_Iter> || requires(const _Iter __i) { __i.operator->(); }
 {
    if constexpr (std::is_same_v<_Iter, std::iterator_traits<_Iter>::pointer>) {
      return std::prev(current);
    } else {
      return std::prev(current).operator->();
    }
  }
#else
```
