`deleteObject` overloads

== Synopses

Declared in `<bslma_allocator.h>`

This function has no effect. Note that it exists to support calling `deleteObject` will a null pointer literal, that would otherwise not deduce to a pointer type for the method above. As calls to `deleteObject` with (typed) null pointer values have well‐defined behavior, it should also support calls with a null pointer literal.

Destroy the specified `object` based on its dynamic type and then use this allocator to deallocate its memory footprint. Do nothing if `object` is a null pointer. The behavior is undefined unless `object`, when cast appropriately to `void *`, was allocated using this allocator and has not already been deallocated. Note that `dynamic_cast<void *>(object)` is applied if `TYPE` is polymorphic, and `static_cast<void *>(object)` is applied otherwise.
