Usage of uses_allocator needs a remove_cvref_t

[vinniefalco]

This specialization of boost::container::uses_allocator:

template<class T>
struct uses_allocator<
    ::boost::json::value,
    json::polymorphic_allocator<T>>
        : std::true_type
{
};

fails, because Boost.Container does not use remove_cvref on the allocator. This causes uses_allocator to receive json::polymorphic_allocator<T>&

However if I use this workaround:

template<class T>
struct uses_allocator<
    ::boost::json::value,
    json::polymorphic_allocator<T>& > // <---- note the reference
        : std::true_type
{
};

it works correctly. The problem is here (and is likely in other places). I believe remove_cvref_t<ArgAlloc> is needed:

container/include/boost/container/detail/dispatch_uses_allocator.hpp

Line 116 in 5a52472

, dtl::not_< uses_allocator<T, ArgAlloc> >

Thanks for the report!
