Re: [std-proposals] copy constructor of std::vector

Problem just here:
https://godbolt.org/z/35TW4vacY
    static_assert(std::is_copy_constructible_v<std::vector<std::unique_ptr<
int>>>);

It is because before C++20 it is so difficult to restrict special member
functions. I think we need add requirements in next standard as DR
