// WeakNSObject<> is patterned after scoped_nsobject<>, but instead of
// maintaining ownership of an NSObject subclass object, it will nil itself out
// when the object is deallocated.
//
// WeakNSProtocol<> has the same behavior as WeakNSObject, but can be used
// with protocols.
//
// Example usage (base::WeakNSObject<T>):
//   scoped_nsobject<Foo> foo([[Foo alloc] init]);
//   WeakNSObject<Foo> weak_foo;  // No pointer
//   weak_foo.reset(foo)  // Now a weak reference is kept.
//   [weak_foo description];  // Returns [foo description].
//   foo.reset();  // The reference is released.
//   [weak_foo description];  // Returns nil, as weak_foo is pointing to nil.
//
//
// Implementation wise a WeakNSObject keeps a reference to a refcounted
// WeakContainer. There is one unique instance of a WeakContainer per watched
// NSObject, this relationship is maintained via the ObjectiveC associated
// object API, indirectly via an ObjectiveC CRBWeakNSProtocolSentinel class.
//
// Threading restrictions:
// - Several WeakNSObject pointing to the same underlying object must all be
//   created and dereferenced on the same thread;
// - thread safety is enforced by the implementation, except in two cases:
//   (1) it is allowed to copy a WeakNSObject on a different thread. However,
//       that copy must return to the original thread before being dereferenced,
//   (2) it is allowed to destroy a WeakNSObject on any thread;
// - the implementation assumes that the tracked object will be released on the
//   same thread that the WeakNSObject is created on.
