The following deduction guides are provided for std::priority_queue:

1-6) Allow deduction from underlying container type and from an iterator range. /*iter-value-type*/<It> denotes typename std::iterator_traits <It>::value_type for any type `It`.
7-9) Allow deduction from a `std::from_range_t` tag and an input_range.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if

- `InputIt` satisfies LegacyInputIterator,
- `Comp` does not satisfy Allocator,
- `Container` does not satisfy Allocator,
- for overloads (4,5),(since C++23) `Alloc` satisfies Allocator, and
- for overloads (3,6), std::uses_allocator_v <Container, Alloc> is true.

Note: the extent to which the library determines that a type does not satisfy LegacyInputIterator is unspecified, except that as a minimum integral types do not qualify as input iterators. Likewise, the extent to which it determines that a type does not satisfy Allocator is unspecified, except that as a minimum the member type `Alloc::value_type` must exist and the expression std::declval <Alloc&>().allocate( std::size_t {}) must be well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand.

### Notes

Feature-test macro | Value | Std | Feature
--- | --- | --- | ---
`__cpp_lib_containers_ranges` | `202202L` | (C++23) | Ranges-aware construction and insertion; overloads (7-9)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <functional>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <queue>
    #include <vector>

    int main()
    {
        const std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, 4};
        std::priority_queue pq1{std::greater<int>{}, v}; // deduces std::priority_queue<
                                                         //     int, std::vector<int>,
                                                         //     std::greater<int>>
        for (; !pq1.empty(); pq1.pop())
            std::cout << pq1.top() << ' ';
        std::cout << '\n';

        std::priority_queue pq2{v.begin(), v.end()}; // deduces std::priority_queue<int>

        for (; !pq2.empty(); pq2.pop())
            std::cout << pq2.top() << ' ';
        std::cout << '\n';
    }

Output:

    1 2 3 4
    4 3 2 1

### Defect reports
