20.2.9 Allocator traits [allocator.traits]

20.2.9.1 General [allocator.traits.general]

The class template allocator_traits supplies a uniform interface to all allocator types.
An allocator cannot be a non-class type, however, even if allocator_traits supplies the entire required interface.
[Note 1: 
Thus, it is always possible to create a derived class from an allocator.
— end note]
If a program declares an explicit or partial specialization of allocator_traits, the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required.
