17 ///
18 /// Types that implement this trait should include some kind of logic for keeping track of whether
19 /// a [`ListArc`] exists or not. We refer to this logic as "the tracking inside `T`".
20 ///
21 /// We allow the case where the tracking inside `T` thinks that a [`ListArc`] exists, but actually,
22 /// there isn't a [`ListArc`]. However, we do not allow the opposite situation where a [`ListArc`]
23 /// exists, but the tracking thinks it doesn't. This is because the former can at most result in us
24 /// failing to create a [`ListArc`] when the operation could succeed, whereas the latter can result
25 /// in the creation of two [`ListArc`] references. Only the latter situation can lead to memory
26 /// safety issues.
27 ///
28 /// A consequence of the above is that you may implement the tracking inside `T` by not actually
29 /// keeping track of anything. To do this, you always claim that a [`ListArc`] exists, even if
30 /// there isn't one. This implementation is allowed by the above rule, but it means that
31 /// [`ListArc`] references can only be created if you have ownership of *all* references to the
32 /// refcounted object, as you otherwise have no way of knowing whether a [`ListArc`] exists.

75 /// * The `untracked` strategy does not actually keep track of whether a [`ListArc`] exists. When
76 ///   using this strategy, the only way to create a [`ListArc`] is using a [`UniqueArc`].
77 /// * The `tracked_by` strategy defers the tracking to a field of the struct. The user much specify
78 ///   which field to defer the tracking to. The field must implement [`ListArcSafe`]. If the field
79 ///   implements [`TryNewListArc`], then the type will also implement [`TryNewListArc`].
80 ///
81 /// The `tracked_by` strategy is usually used by deferring to a field of type
82 /// [`AtomicTracker`]. However, it is also possible to defer the tracking to another struct
83 /// using also using this macro.
