The templates specified in Table 53 modify array types.

Comments
template<class T>
struct remove_extent;
If T is a type “array of U”, the member typedef type denotes U, otherwise T.
[Note 1: 
For multidimensional arrays, only the first array dimension is removed.
For a type “array of const U”, the resulting type is const U.
— end note]
template<class T>
struct remove_all_extents;
If T is “multidimensional array of U”, the resulting member typedef type denotes U, otherwise T.
