// Weak handles provides a way to refer to weak pointers from another
// thread.  This is useful because it is not safe to reference a weak
// pointer from a thread other than the thread on which it was
// created.
//
// Weak handles can be passed across threads, so for example, you can
// use them to do the "real" work on one thread and get notified on
// another thread:
//
// class FooIOWorker {
//  public:
//   FooIOWorker(const WeakHandle<Foo>& foo) : foo_(foo) {}
//
//   void OnIOStart() {
//     foo_.Call(FROM_HERE, &Foo::OnIOStart);
//   }
//
//   void OnIOEvent(IOEvent e) {
//     foo_.Call(FROM_HERE, &Foo::OnIOEvent, e);
//   }
//
//   void OnIOError(IOError err) {
//     foo_.Call(FROM_HERE, &Foo::OnIOError, err);
//   }
//
//  private:
//   const WeakHandle<Foo> foo_;
// };
//
// class Foo : public SupportsWeakPtr<Foo>, public NonThreadSafe {
//  public:
//   Foo() {
//     SpawnFooIOWorkerOnIOThread(base::MakeWeakHandle(AsWeakPtr()));
//   }
//
//   /* Will always be called on the correct thread, and only if this
//      object hasn't been destroyed. */
//   void OnIOStart() { DCHECK(CalledOnValidThread(); ... }
