Actually, I should clarify this. aligned_deleter should be not quite the same 
as in the docs but rather:

  struct aligned_deleter
  {
    typedef void result_type;

    template< typename T >
    result_type operator() (T* p) const
      BOOST_NOEXCEPT_IF(BOOST_NOEXCEPT_EXPR(p->~T()))
    {
      p->~T();
      boost::aligned_free(p);
    }
  };

Note that the deleter is not a template. The point is not to duplicate the 
pointee type in the unique_ptr specialization.
