The error you're getting is a known bug with lambdas, you can find
multiple issues like it in bugzilla.

It's good that it's only for demonstration because your deleters have
undefined behaviour, they mix the array form of 'new' with the
non-array 'delete'.

Usually the unique_ptr<T[]> specialization should be used for arrays.
