Well, if you absolutely want to know: 
 
That he tried to put a constant element into a container indeed is 
questionable. That was the question in the other PR. However, allocators 
can be used for more than just in allocators, and this is what we are 
talking about here. 
 
The fact that there is an issue with the allocators only referred to the 
fact that the way the standard is written it doesn't allow the allocator 
to compile with constant arguments. I never questioned that: a strict 
reading indeed needs to determine that the PR is invalid. 
 
However, this wasn't the question I asked. My question was whether this 
was intentional, or whether it merits a DR. The answer to this question 
clearly can't be found in the standard, and neither in the other PR, it 
requires the interpretative skills of people who know the _intent_ of the 
standard -- something neither you nor I have, which is why I asked for  
second opinions. 
 
If the people who may answer this question determine that the standard is 
the way it is by intent, then that's the time to close the PR. Have some 
patience, please. 
 
W.
