| 72 | +<p><b>Discussion:</b></p> |
| 73 | +<p> |
| 74 | +Currently, the signature of <code class='backtick'>range_formatter::format</code> is as follows: |
| 75 | +</p> |
| 76 | +<blockquote><pre> |
| 77 | +template<ranges::input_range R, class FormatContext> |
| 78 | + requires formattable<ranges::range_reference_t<R>, charT> && |
| 79 | + same_as<remove_cvref_t<ranges::range_reference_t<R>>, T> |
| 80 | +typename FormatContext::iterator |
| 81 | + format(R&& r, FormatContext& ctx) const; |
| 82 | +</pre></blockquote> |
| 83 | +<p> |
| 84 | +which requires that the reference type of the range parameter must be <code class='backtick'>formattable</code>, |
| 85 | +and such type must be exactly <code class='backtick'>T</code> after removing the <i>cvref</i>-qualifiers. |
| 86 | +</p> |
| 87 | +<p> |
| 88 | +However, satisfying the latter always implies satisfying the former, as the <code class='backtick'>range_formatter</code> class |
| 89 | +already requires that <code class='backtick'>T</code> must be <code class='backtick'>formattable</code>. |
| 90 | +</p> |
| 91 | +<p> |
| 92 | +There is no need to perform a redundant check here. |
| 93 | +</p> |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | + |
