WeakPointerTo is similar to PointerTo, except that it does not actually prevent the referenced pointer from deleting.
Instead, the referenced pointer is allowed to delete, but if this happens then was_deleted() will return true, and it will be an assertion error to dereference the pointer thereafter.

Returns the original pointer value, even if the object has since been deleted.

A thread-safe way to access the underlying pointer; will silently return null if the underlying pointer was deleted or null.
Note that this may return null even if was_deleted() still returns true, which can occur if the object has reached reference count 0 and is about to be destroyed.

We also have the typecast operator to automatically convert WeakPointerTo's to the required kind of actual pointer.
This introduces ambiguities which the compiler will resolve one way or the other, but we don't care which way it goes because either will be correct.

Returns an ordinary pointer instead of a WeakPointerTo.
Useful to work around compiler problems, particularly for implicit upcasts.
