template<class T>
struct remove_­extent;
If T names a type “array of U”, the member typedef type shall be U, otherwise T.
[Note
:
For multidimensional arrays, only the first array dimension is removed.
For a type “array of const U”, the resulting type is const U.

template<class T>
struct remove_­all_­extents;
