Comment / justification for change: 

The nullptr_t type was introduced to resolve the null pointer literal problem. It should be used for the assignemnt operator, as with the constructor and elsewhere through the library.

Recommended change: 

Change signature here and in the synopsis to: unique_ptr& operator=(nullptr_t);

Strike the sentance an note before the Effects clause.

Same change needed in the synopsis for unique_ptr.
