nil out tableView delegate on dealloc

Please advise as to in-code-commenting style.
Further, this may not necessarily be an issue with a UITableViewController's default UITableView, but we have certainly observed this issue when a UITableView was added to a UIViewController's view property.

If tableView is scrolling as this VC is being dealloc'd
it continues to send messages (scrollViewDidScroll:) to its delegate.
This is fine if the delegate will outlive tableView (e.g. this VC would.)
However, if the delegate is an instance that may be dealloc'd
before the tableView
(i.e. _scrollProxy may be dealloc'd prior to tableView being dealloc'd)
the tableView will send messages to its delegate,
which is defined with an "assign" (i.e. unsafe_unretained) property.
This is a msgSend to non-nil'ed, invalid memory leading to a crash.
If or when UIScrollView's delegate is referred to with "weak" rather
than "assign", this can and should be removed.
