===typedef or type alias?===
The description reads (twice):

''... provides a member typedef type that names T.''

But the possible implementation uses a type alias, for example:

using type = T;

Although the effect is the same, I think that using:

''... provides a member type alias that names T.''

Is more accurate. Do you agree?

: yes "typedef" here (and in other places) is a C-era colloquialism for "type alias", which can now be created using two different but equivalent syntaxes. I think it isn't material, but to follow the general guidance of shunning "typedef"  ([https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#Rt-using Core Guidelines] and the standard itself - someone went over the entire thing at one point and replaced every remaining `typedef` with `using`) it'd make sense to say "alias" more often. --[[User:Cubbi|Cubbi]] ([[User talk:Cubbi|talk]]) 13:10, 12 October 2022 (PDT)
