Description
Currently it says
void operator delete(void* ptr) noexcept {
throw 0; // undefined behavior, terminates by throwing an exception
}
[basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]/3 merely says
... A deallocation function shall not have a potentially throwing exception specification. ...
The "throwing an exception in a noexcept function" example is irrelevant for this UB.
