Specializations of pointer_­traits may define the member declared in this subclause to customize the behavior of the standard library.
static element_type* to_address(pointer p) noexcept;
Returns: A pointer of type element_­type* that references the same location as the argument p.

This function should be the inverse of pointer_­to.
