I was trying to figure out if boost::aligned_storage was POD so I
looked at the header. It looks like the internal implementation type
is a POD, but the actual aligned_storage itself is not. However, that
implementation type is exposed through a public typedef. Is it safe
for me to use the typedef if I really do need a POD type and don't
mind losing the safety of being noncopyable? Is opting out of that
tradeoff what the typedef is there for?
