Create an in‐place representation with storage for an uninitialized array.

== Description

Create a `SharedPtrArrayAllocateInplaceRep` object having storage for an in‐place uninitialized sized array of (template parameter) `TYPE` containing space for the specified `numElements` number of elements, and return its address. Use the specified `basicAllocator` to supply memory and, upon a call to `disposeRep`, to destroy this representation (and the in‐place shared object). Note that the function members `ptr` and `originalPtr` will return the address of an uninitialized array. This object should be explicitly initialized by the caller, and it is undefined behavior to call `disposeRep` until this object has been successfully constructed.

== Return Value

address of the newly created representation

== Parameters
