:mrdocs:

Destroy the specified `instance` based on its static type and return its memory footprint to the appropriate memory manager. The behavior is undefined unless the memory for the footprint of `instance` was supplied by the same allocator as is used by this default deleter. Note that this method does not destroy the deleter itself.
