In hindsight, I think the "advice" I wrote is a bit heavy-handed and better suited for something like the GC guide. Listing the use-cases seems good, and all the possible things that go wrong seems to do the trick in terms of deterrence, like it does with finalizers. Also, include some points I missed, like the tiny allocator warning and the fact that weak pointers are not guaranteed to ever return nil. Also, a lot of this actually shouldn't have been in the package docs. Many of the warnings only apply to weak pointers, but not other data structures that may live in this package in the future, like weak-keyed maps.
