By all means, actually the current detail/allocator.hpp is designed for
classes that are using an allocator internally, and may need to do a rebind
internally; the workarounds in there probably won't work for std lib classes
(or at least have never been tested with them).  I also think that this
header will become obsolete when the next regex revision becomes available,
so basically do whatever you want with it, or I guess rename it for now
until I can remove it entirely.
