//!Template unique_ptr stores a pointer to an object and deletes that object
//!using the associated deleter when it is itself destroyed (such as when
//!leaving block scope.
//!
//!The unique_ptr provides a semantics of strict ownership. A unique_ptr owns the
//!object it holds a pointer to.
//!
//!A unique_ptr is not CopyConstructible, nor CopyAssignable, however it is
//!MoveConstructible and Move-Assignable.
//!
//!The uses of unique_ptr include providing exception safety for dynamically
//!allocated memory, passing ownership of dynamically allocated memory to a
//!function, and returning dynamically allocated memory from a function
//!
//!A client-supplied template argument D must be a
//!function pointer or functor for which, given a value d of type D and a pointer
//!ptr to a type T*, the expression d(ptr) is
//!valid and has the effect of deallocating the pointer as appropriate for that
//!deleter. D may also be an lvalue-reference to a deleter.
//!
//!If the deleter D maintains state, it is intended that this state stay with
//!the associated pointer as ownership is transferred
//!from unique_ptr to unique_ptr. The deleter state need never be copied,
//!only moved or swapped as pointer ownership
//!is moved around. That is, the deleter need only be MoveConstructible,
//!MoveAssignable, and Swappable, and need not be CopyConstructible
//!(unless copied into the unique_ptr) nor CopyAssignable.
