A specialization for array types is provided with a slightly altered interface.

(1.1)
Conversions between different types of unique_ptr<T[], D> that would be disallowed for the corresponding pointer-to-array types, and conversions to or from the non-array forms of unique_ptr, produce an ill-formed program.
(1.2)
Pointers to types derived from T are rejected by the constructors, and by reset.
(1.3)
The observers operator* and operator-> are not provided.
(1.4)
The indexing observer operator[] is provided.
(1.5)
The default deleter will call delete[].
