AtomicWeakRef

[BTOdell]

Would it be possible to add a weak reference type to this library that doesn't include a lifetime parameter?
I've been trying to create something similar to "Box" but with thread-safe weak pointers;
or "Arc" but with the ability to into_inner and get the original value out.

Your library almost satisfies my requirements, but the lifetime requirement on the AtomicRef was problematic.

For reference:

Note that in my partial-implementation, the into_inner function can block until the weak references aren't actively borrowing. Not sure how this behavior would be accomplished in your library.
