Create a shared pointer that reference‐counts the null pointer, and calls the specified `deleter` with a null pointer (i.e., invokes `deleter((ELEMENT_TYPE *)0)`) when the last shared reference is destroyed. The specified `nullPointerLiteral` is not used. Optionally specify a `basicAllocator` to allocate and deallocate the internal representation of the shared pointer (including a copy of `deleter`). If `basicAllocator` is 0, the currently installed default allocator is used. If an exception is thrown when allocating storage for the internal representation, then `deleter((ELEMENT_TYPE *)0)` will be called. The behavior is undefined unless `deleter` can be called with a null pointer, and unless the constructor making a copy of `deleter` does not throw an exception.
