+/**
+ * to_weak_ptr
+ *
+ * Make a weak_ptr and return it from a shared_ptr without specifying the
+ * template type parameter and letting the compiler deduce it.
+ *
+ * So you can write this:
+ *
+ * auto wptr = to_weak_ptr(getSomethingShared<T>());
+ *
+ * Instead of this:
+ *
+ * auto wptr = weak_ptr<T>(getSomethingShared<T>());
+ *
+ * Useful when `T` is long, such as:
+ *
+ * using T = foobar::FooBarAsyncClient;
