Create a default&hyphen;constructed object of (template parameter) `ELEMENT&lowbar;TYPE` at the specified `address`&period; If `ELEMENT&lowbar;TYPE` supports `bslma`&hyphen;style allocation, this allocator passes itself to the extended default constructor&period; If the constructor throws, the memory at `address` is left in an unspecified state&period; The behavior is undefined unless `address` refers to a block of sufficient size and properly aligned for objects of `ELEMENT&lowbar;TYPE`&period;
