Just in case: are you asking out of concern for "Rust panics" etc.?
The upgrade call does not need to panic, they can be fallible; e.g.
the `Weak` types in the Rust standard library return an `Option`.

Now, what the caller does if the upgrading fails depends on who the
caller is, as usual.

Cheers,
Miguel
