/**
 * Annotation that indicates a variable has a weak relationship to its owner. The variable will be
 * declared with the __weak annotation if compiled with either ARC ("-fobjc-arc" clang flag) or the
 * "-fobjc-weak" clang flag (set by j2objc script).
 *
 * If compiled with neither clang flag, the variable will be declared with the
 * __unsafe_unretained annotation. However, it's recommended that either ARC compilation or using
 * the "-fobjc-weak" flag be used.
