Destroy the currently managed object, if any. Then, set the target object of this managed pointer to be that referenced by the specified `ptr`, take ownership of `*ptr` as the currently managed object, and set a deleter that calls `factory‐>deleteObject(ptr)` to destroy the managed object when invoked (e.g., when this managed pointer object is destroyed), unless `0 == ptr`, in which case reset this managed pointer to empty. The deleter will invoke the destructor of `MANAGED_TYPE` rather than the destructor of `TARGET_TYPE`. This function will not compile unless `MANAGED_TYPE *` is convertible to `TARGET_TYPE *`. The behavior is undefined unless the managed object (if any) can be destroyed by the specified `factory`, or if `0 == factory && 0 != ptr`, or if the the lifetime of the managed object is already managed by another object. Note that `bslma::Allocator`, and any class publicly and unambiguously derived from `bslma::Allocator`, meets the requirements for `FACTORY_TYPE`.
