155+-- This function is marked NOINLINE so it is opaque to GHC.
156+-- If we do not do this, then GHC will sometimes fuse the constructor away
157+-- so any weak references that are attached to the ticket will have their
158+-- finalizer run. Using the opaque constructor, GHC does not see the
159+-- constructor application, so it behaves like an IORef and cannot be fused away.
160+--
161+-- The result is also evaluated to WHNF, since forcing a thunk invalidates
162+-- the weak pointer to it in some cases.
