r=me with nit.

`match_correctness` looks like not following to the WebKit's naming convention. Based on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140905#c4, I guess that this is intentionally using C++ STL's naming convention here.
Then, can you change this to `match_constness_t`? When using alias template and generating type without using `::type`, C++ STL uses `_t` suffix. e.g. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/make_signed

Surprised that the standard library doesn’t have something like this.

As long as we are modernizing, should use conditional_t, is_const_v, add_const_t, and remove_const_t.
