Compute the associated types of an iterator. The exposition-only concept dereferenceable is satisfied if and only if the expression *std::declval<T&>() is valid and has a referenceable type (in particular, not void).

1) Computes the value type of T. If std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>> is not specialized, then std::iter_value_t<T> is std::indirectly_readable_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::value_type. Otherwise, it is std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::value_type.

2) Computes the reference type of T.

3) Computes the const reference type of T.

4) Computes the difference type of T. If std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>> is not specialized, then std::iter_difference_t<T> is std::incrementable_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::difference_type. Otherwise, it is std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::difference_type.

5) Computes the rvalue reference type of T. The "see below" portion of the constraint on this alias template is satisfied if and only if the expression ranges::iter_move(std::declval<T&>()) is valid and has a referenceable type (in particular, not void).

6) Computes the common reference type of T. This is the common reference type between its reference type and an lvalue reference to its value type.
