/*
   checked deleters are used to make sure that the type being deleted is really
   a complete type.: otherwise sizeof() would result in a compile-time error

   do { ... } while ( 0 ) construct is used to have an anonymous scope
   (otherwise we could have name clashes between different "complete"s) but
   still force a semicolon after the macro
