Discussion:
This originated from the editorial issue #5800.
P0429R9 added some deduction guides with a non-defaultedAllocator
template parameter and a corresponding function parameter that is defaulted. Since the
template parameter Allocator
is not defaulted, these deduction guides are never used.
[2022-09-28; LWG telecon]
We should not just ignore the allocator, it should be rebound and used for the two container types.

[2023-01-11; Jonathan Wakely provides improved wording]
During LWG telecon Tim pointed out that because
allocator<void>
does not meet the Cpp17Allocator
requirements, it might not "qualify as an allocator" and so would cause
the deduction guides to not participate in overload resolution, as per
24.6.1 [container.adaptors.general] p6 (6.4).
Use allocator<byte>
instead.
