### remove_const

    template <class T>
    struct remove_const
    {
       typedef see-below type;
    };

type: The same type as `T`, but with any top level const-qualifier removed.

C++ Standard Reference: 3.9.3.

Compiler Compatibility: If the compiler does not support partial specialization of class-templates then this template will compile, but the member `type` will always be the same as type `T` except where compiler workarounds have been applied.

Header: `#include <boost/type_traits/remove_const.hpp>` or `#include <boost/type_traits.hpp>`
