Computes the associated value type of the type I, if any. Users may specialize value_type for a program-defined type.

1) Primary template is an empty struct.
2) Specialization for pointers. If T is an object type, provides a member type type equal to std::remove_cv_t<T>. Otherwise, there is no member type.
3) Specialization for array types.
4) Specialization for const-qualified types.
5) Specialization for types that define a public and accessible member type value_type. If T::value_type is an object type, provides a member type type equal to T::value_type. Otherwise, there is no member type.
6) Specialization for types that define a public and accessible member type element_type (e.g., std::shared_ptr). If T::element_type is an object type, provides a member type type equal to std::remove_cv_t<typename T::element_type>. Otherwise, there is no member type.

Helper alias template

template< class T >
using value_type_t = typename ranges::value_type<T>::type;
(ranges TS)

Notes

If a type contains both a value_type member and a element_type member, then the specializations (5) and (6) are ambiguous.

value_type is intended for use with Readable types such as iterators. It is not intended for use with ranges.
