Backend functionality for Arti's RPC service
Documentation
//! Support for weak references.
//!
//! Currently, this is unused in Arti; we may eventually remove it, which will let us simplify our
//! code.
//!
//! In any case, we should not use this until we have a solid idea about how weak references should
//! behave; see #868.
