The standard does NOT constrain that T for allocator should be Assignable.
The current standard doesn't constrain that T not be a
reference, either, although that would make reference_type a
reference to a reference (which doesn't exist).
Yah, I think reference does not escape "NOT Assignable" category. :-)
Well, still take /const int/ and /allocator/ into account.
If T is "const int", then
const_reference == reference
pointer address(reference x) const;
const_pointer address(const_reference x) const;
can't be overloaded.
So if STL implementation does NOT remove constness on T, then the code
shouldn't compile at all.
