  23    checked deleters are used to make sure that the type being deleted is really
  24    a complete type.: otherwise sizeof() would result in a compile-time error
  25
  26    do { ... } while ( 0 ) construct is used to have an anonymous scope
  27    (otherwise we could have name clashes between different "complete"s) but
  28    still force a semicolon after the macro
