Comment at: libcxx/include/deque:1318
     deque(const deque& __c);
-    deque(const deque& __c, const allocator_type& __a);
+    deque(const deque& __c, const typename __identity<allocator_type>::type& __a);

If we were going to add one, I think I'd lobby for it to be like `_Ident<T>`, by analogy with `_EnableIf<B>`, just to keep the boilerplate as short as possible. (Although `_EnableIf` has advantages in minimizing helper template instantiations, whereas this thing would not.)
`_Ident<T>` sounds good to me :)

I know this doesn't have compile-time benefit, but I think it will make the code a bit cleaner. Just a small thing.
