Yeah, not sure about use of nullptr_t as type of parameter, wonder if that
can cause ambiguity
when argument passed as allocator conflicts with it, but I do not think
anybody would pass literal
0 as it, so seem to be OK.

I do not think that above example reproduces problem from the issue,
checking is invocable
<GenericDeleter, nullptr> is simply true. The lambda with auto was
important, as checking is
invocable triggered return type deduction, which instantiated delete with
nullptr, that was ill-formed.
