/**
* An instance of |nsIWeakReference| is a proxy object that cooperates with
* its referent to give clients a non-owning, non-dangling reference. Clients
* own the proxy, and should generally manage it with an |nsCOMPtr| (see the
* type |nsWeakPtr| for a |typedef| name that stands out) as they would any
* other XPCOM object. The |QueryReferent| member function provides a
* (hopefully short-lived) owning reference on demand, through which clients
* can get useful access to the referent, while it still exists.
