Both libc++ <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/libcxx/include/type_traits#L647> and libstdc++ <https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3/include/std/type_traits#L1561> define `std::remove_cv` without extensions, and I think it would be surprising for `__remove_cv` to remove anything else.

Sorry, I was really unclear it seems. I was recommending we end up with:

`__remove_const`
`__remove_volatile`
`__remove_restrict`
`__remove_cv`  // Removes just `const` and `volatile`
`__remove_qualifiers` // Removes all qualifiers

and if we someday find a use for adding `__remove_cvr` we can add it (but I would be surprised if the need was that great).
