20.4.3.1 General [mem.poly.allocator.class.general]

1
#
A specialization of class template pmr​::​polymorphic_allocator meets the Cpp17Allocator requirements ([allocator.requirements.general]) if its template argument is a cv-unqualified object type.
Constructed with different memory resources, different instances of the same specialization of pmr​::​polymorphic_allocator can exhibit entirely different allocation behavior.
This runtime polymorphism allows objects that use polymorphic_allocator to behave as if they used different allocator types at run time even though they use the same static allocator type.

#
A specialization of class template pmr​::​polymorphic_allocator meets the allocator completeness requirements ([allocator.requirements.completeness]) if its template argument is a cv-unqualified object type.
