Comment:

 That's not the right fix - std::nullptr_t ''is not a pointer type'' - it's
 a type that's convertible to a pointer which is a whole other ball game.

 I believe the correct fix is for ptr_container to provide an explicit
 overload for std::nullptr_t for methods like insert.  Reassigning in case
 someone wants to apply a fix there.
