* The following provides an 'alternative pointer' that works with
* the containers when specified as the pointer typedef of the
* allocator.
*
* The pointer type used with the containers doesn't have to be this
* class, but it must support the implicit conversions, pointer
* arithmetic, comparison operators, etc. that are supported by this
* class, and avoid raising compile-time ambiguities. Because
* creating a working pointer can be challenging, this pointer
* template was designed to wrapper an easier storage policy type,
* so that it becomes reusable for creating other pointer types.
*
* A key point of this class is also that it allows container
* writers to 'assume' Allocator::pointer is a typedef for a normal
* pointer. This class supports most of the conventions of a true
* pointer, and can, for instance handle implicit conversion to
* const and base class pointer types. The only impositions on
* container writers to support extended pointers are: 1) use the
* Allocator::pointer typedef appropriately for pointer types. 2)
* if you need pointer casting, use the __pointer_cast<> functions
* from ext/cast.h. This allows pointer cast operations to be
* overloaded as necessary by custom pointers.
*
* Note: The const qualifier works with this pointer adapter as
* follows:
*
* _Tp* == _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<_Tp> >;
* const _Tp* == _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<const _Tp> >;
* _Tp* const == const _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<_Tp> >;
* const _Tp* const == const _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<const _Tp> >;
