+// Weak pointers are pointers to an object that do not affect its lifetime,
+// and which may be invalidated (i.e. reset to NULL) by the object, or its
+// owner, at any time, most commonly when the object is about to be deleted.
+
+// Weak pointers are useful when an object needs to be accessed safely by one
+// or more objects other than its owner, and those callers can cope with the
+// object vanishing and e.g. tasks posted to it being silently dropped.
+// Reference-counting such an object would complicate the ownership graph and
+// make it harder to reason about the object's lifetime.
+
+// EXAMPLE:
+//
+// class Controller {
+// public:
+// Controller() : weak_factory_(this) {}
+// void SpawnWorker() { Worker::StartNew(weak_factory_.GetWeakPtr()); }
+// void WorkComplete(const Result& result) { ... }
+// private:
+// // Member variables should appear before the WeakPtrFactory, to ensure
+// // that any WeakPtrs to Controller are invalidated before its members
+// // variable's destructors are executed, rendering them invalid.
+// WeakPtrFactory<Controller> weak_factory_;
+// };
+//
+// class Worker {
+// public:
+// static void StartNew(const WeakPtr<Controller>& controller) {
+// Worker* worker = new Worker(controller);
+// // Kick off asynchronous processing...
+// }
+// private:
+// Worker(const WeakPtr<Controller>& controller)
+// : controller_(controller) {}
+// void DidCompleteAsynchronousProcessing(const Result& result) {
+// if (controller_)
+// controller_->WorkComplete(result);
+// }
+// WeakPtr<Controller> controller_;
+// };
+//
+// With this implementation a caller may use SpawnWorker() to dispatch multiple
+// Workers and subsequently delete the Controller, without waiting for all
+// Workers to have completed.
+
+// ------------------------- IMPORTANT: Thread-safety -------------------------
+
+// Weak pointers may be passed safely between threads, but must always be
+// dereferenced and invalidated on the same SequencedTaskRunner otherwise
+// checking the pointer would be racey.
+//
+// To ensure correct use, the first time a WeakPtr issued by a WeakPtrFactory
+// is dereferenced, the factory and its WeakPtrs become bound to the calling
+// thread or current SequencedWorkerPool token, and cannot be dereferenced or
+// invalidated on any other task runner. Bound WeakPtrs can still be handed
+// off to other task runners, e.g. to use to post tasks back to object on the
+// bound sequence.
+//
+// If all WeakPtr objects are destroyed or invalidated then the factory is
+// unbound from the SequencedTaskRunner/Thread. The WeakPtrFactory may then be
+// destroyed, or new WeakPtr objects may be used, from a different sequence.
+//
+// Thus, at least one WeakPtr object must exist and have been dereferenced on
+// the correct thread to enforce that other WeakPtr objects will enforce they
+// are used on the desired thread.
