+ * LLHandles are used to refer to objects whose lifetime you do not control or influence.
+ * Calling get() on a handle will return a pointer to the referenced object or NULL,
+ * if the object no longer exists. Note that during the lifetime of the returned pointer,
+ * you are assuming that the object will not be deleted by any action you perform,
+ * or any other thread, as normal when using pointers, so avoid using that pointer outside of
+ * the local code block.
+ *
+ * https://wiki.lindenlab.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=LLHandle&oldid=79669
+ *
+ * The implementation is like some "weak pointer" implementations. When we
+ * can't control the lifespan of the referenced object of interest, we can
+ * still instantiate a proxy object whose lifespan we DO control, and store in
+ * the proxy object a dumb pointer to the actual target. Then we just have to
+ * ensure that on destruction of the target object, the proxy's dumb pointer
+ * is set NULL.
+ *
+ * LLTombStone is our proxy object. LLHandle contains an LLPointer to the
+ * LLTombStone, so every copy of an LLHandle increments the LLTombStone's ref
+ * count as usual.
+ *
+ * One copy of the LLHandle, specifically the LLRootHandle, must be stored in
+ * the referenced object. Destroying the LLRootHandle is what NULLs the
+ * proxy's target pointer.
+ *
+ * Minor optimization: we want LLHandle's mTombStone to always be a valid
+ * LLPointer, saving some conditionals in dereferencing. That's the
+ * getDefaultTombStone() mechanism. The default LLTombStone object's target
+ * pointer is always NULL, so it's semantically identical to allowing
+ * mTombStone to be invalid.
