+// 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.
