:mrdocs:

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.
