[Boost-users] POD boost aligned storage?

I was trying to figure out if boost::aligned_storage was POD so I looked at the header. It looks like the internal implementation type is a POD, but the actual aligned_storage itself is not. However, that implementation type is exposed through a public typedef. Is it safe for me to use the typedef if I really do need a POD type and don't mind losing the safety of being noncopyable? Is opting out of that tradeoff what the typedef is there for?
