+/// A thread-safe reference-counting pointer. 'Arc' stands for 'Atomically
+/// Reference Counted'.
+///
+/// The type `Arc<T>` provides shared ownership of a value of type `T`,
+/// allocated in the heap. Invoking [`clone`][clone] on `Arc` produces
+/// a new `Arc` instance, which points to the same allocation on the heap as the
+/// source `Arc`, while increasing a reference count. When the last `Arc`
+/// pointer to a given allocation is destroyed, the value stored in that allocation (often
+/// referred to as "inner value") is also dropped.
+///
+/// Shared references in Rust disallow mutation by default, and `Arc` is no
+/// exception: you cannot generally obtain a mutable reference to something
+/// inside an `Arc`. If you need to mutate through an `Arc`, use
+/// [`Mutex`][mutex], [`RwLock`][rwlock], or one of the [`Atomic`][atomic]
+/// types.
+///
+/// ## Thread Safety
+///
+/// Unlike [`Rc<T>`], `Arc<T>` uses atomic operations for its reference
+/// counting. This means that it is thread-safe. The disadvantage is that
+/// atomic operations are more expensive than ordinary memory accesses. If you
+/// are not sharing reference-counted allocations between threads, consider using
+/// [`Rc<T>`] for lower overhead. [`Rc<T>`] is a safe default, because the
+/// compiler will catch any attempt to send an [`Rc<T>`] between threads.
+/// However, a library might choose `Arc<T>` in order to give library consumers
+/// more flexibility.
+///
+/// `Arc<T>` will implement [`Send`] and [`Sync`] as long as the `T` implements
+/// [`Send`] and [`Sync`]. Why can't you put a non-thread-safe type `T` in an
+/// `Arc<T>` to make it thread-safe? This may be a bit counter-intuitive at
+/// first: after all, isn't the point of `Arc<T>` thread safety? The key is
+/// this: `Arc<T>` makes it thread safe to have multiple ownership of the same
+/// data, but it  doesn't add thread safety to its data. Consider
+/// `Arc<`[`RefCell<T>`]`>`. [`RefCell<T>`] isn't [`Sync`], and if `Arc<T>` was always
+/// [`Send`], `Arc<`[`RefCell<T>`]`>` would be as well. But then we'd have a problem:
+/// [`RefCell<T>`] is not thread safe; it keeps track of the borrowing count using
+/// non-atomic operations.
+///
+/// In the end, this means that you may need to pair `Arc<T>` with some sort of
+/// [`std::sync`] type, usually [`Mutex<T>`][mutex].
+///
+/// ## Breaking cycles with `Weak`
+///
+/// The [`downgrade`][downgrade] method can be used to create a non-owning
+/// [`Weak`][weak] pointer. A [`Weak`][weak] pointer can be [`upgrade`][upgrade]d
+/// to an `Arc`, but this will return [`None`] if the value stored in the allocation has
+/// already been dropped. In other words, `Weak` pointers do not keep the value
+/// inside the allocation alive; however, they *do* keep the allocation
+/// (the backing store for the value) alive.
+///
+/// A cycle between `Arc` pointers will never be deallocated. For this reason,
+/// [`Weak`][weak] is used to break cycles. For example, a tree could have
+/// strong `Arc` pointers from parent nodes to children, and [`Weak`][weak]
+/// pointers from children back to their parents.
+///
+/// # Cloning references
+///
+/// Creating a new reference from an existing reference counted pointer is done using the
+/// `Clone` trait implemented for [`Arc<T>`][arc] and [`Weak<T>`][weak].
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::sync::Arc;
+/// let foo = Arc::new(vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0]);
+/// // The two syntaxes below are equivalent.
+/// let a = foo.clone();
+/// let b = Arc::clone(&foo);
+/// // a, b, and foo are all Arcs that point to the same memory location
+/// ```
+///
+/// ## `Deref` behavior
+///
+/// `Arc<T>` automatically dereferences to `T` (via the [`Deref`][deref] trait),
+/// so you can call `T`'s methods on a value of type `Arc<T>`. To avoid name
+/// clashes with `T`'s methods, the methods of `Arc<T>` itself are associated
+/// functions, called using function-like syntax:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::sync::Arc;
+/// let my_arc = Arc::new(());
+///
+/// Arc::downgrade(&my_arc);
+/// ```
+///
+/// [`Weak<T>`][weak] does not auto-dereference to `T`, because the inner value may have
+/// already been dropped.

+/// pointer, which returns an [`Option`]`<`[`Arc`]`<T>>`.
+///
+/// Since a `Weak` reference does not count towards ownership, it will not
+/// prevent the value stored in the allocation from being dropped, and `Weak` itself makes no

+///
+/// A `Weak` pointer is useful for keeping a temporary reference to the allocation

+/// would never allow either [`Arc`] to be dropped. For example, a tree could
+/// have strong [`Arc`] pointers from parent nodes to children, and `Weak`
