This is invalid because it instantiates std::allocator<const
string>and the C++11 Allocator requirements state that the template
argument for an allocator is "any non-const object type."

Don't.

I plan to add static assertions to std::allocator to improve the error
messages you get (see http://gcc.gnu.org/PR55963) but it still won't
compile.
