Suppose that one has got a pointer to a position inside a
`std::vector<X>`, and a (non-reallocating) operation on the vector
decides, for whatever reason, to destroy the object at that position and
then construct a new one. Is that the scenario you're envisioning?

In such a case, doesn't this sentence guarantee that the pointer now
points to the new object constructed at that position?
