// However, this is only used for optimization purposes (a smaller wxWeakRef pointer)
// (and the corner case of wxWeakRef<wxObject>). So for those compilers, we can fall
// back to the non-optimal case, where we use the same type of weak ref (static one)
// in all cases. See defs.h for various setting these defines depending on compiler.
