[section:remove_extent remove_extent]

   template <class T>
   struct remove_extent
   {
      typedef __below type;
   };
  
__type If `T` is an array type, then removes the topmost array bound, 
otherwise leaves `T` unchanged.

__std_ref 8.3.4.

__compat If the compiler does not support partial specialization of class-templates
then this template will compile, but the member `type` will always be the same as 
type `T` except where __transform_workaround have been applied.

__header ` #include <boost/type_traits/remove_extent.hpp>` or ` #include <boost/type_traits.hpp>`
