   template <class T>
   struct remove_pointer
   {
      typedef __below type;
   };
  
   template <class T> using remove_pointer_t = typename remove_pointer<T>::type; // C++11 and above

__type The same type as `T`, but with any pointer modifier removed.  Note that pointers to members are left unchanged: 
removing the pointer decoration would result in an invalid type.

__std_ref 8.3.1.
