| template< class T > struct remove_reference; | (since C++11) | 
If the type T is a reference type, provides the member typedef type which is the type referred to by T. Otherwise type is T.
The behavior of a program that adds specializations for remove_reference is undefined.

| (C++11) | checks if a type is either an lvalue reference or rvalue reference (class template) | 
| (C++11)(C++11) | adds an lvalue or rvalue reference to the given type (class template) | 
| (C++20) | combines std::remove_cvandstd::remove_reference(class template) |
