Computes the associated difference type of the type I, if any. Users may specialize difference_type for a program-defined type.

1) Primary template is an empty struct.
2) Specialization for pointers. If T is an object type, provides a member type type equal to std::ptrdiff_t. Otherwise, there is no member type
3) Specialization for const-qualified types.
4) Specialization for types that define a public and accessible member type difference_type. Provides a member type type equal to T::difference_type.
5) Specialization for types that do not define a public and accessible member type difference_type but do support subtraction. Provides a member type type equal to std::make_signed_t <decltype( std::declval <T> ( ) - std::declval <T> ( ) ) >

Helper alias template

template < class T >
using difference_type_t = typename ranges:: difference_type <T> :: type ;
