In addition to making the code a lot easier to grasp by localizing many
helper functions to the only file where they are actually needed, this
will allow creating helper functions that depend on allocator_traits
outside of <memory>.
This is done as part of implementing array support in allocate_shared,
which requires non-trivial array initialization algorithms that would be
better to keep out of <memory> for sanity. It's also a first step towards
splitting up our monolithic headers into finer grained ones, which will
make it easier to reuse functionality across the library. For example,
it's just weird that we had to define addressof inside <type_traits>
to avoid circular dependencies -- instead it's better to implement those
in true helper headers.
Should this also be __base.h to make clear that these are purely internal headers?
