// A PyHandleCache represents a cached pointer from a C++ object to
// a Python object that represents that object analogously in Python.
// Upon a cache hit, the relevant object can be retrieved after a test
// and then a memory load. Two conditions must hold to be able to use this
// class:
//
// - This must truly be a cache; e.g., the caller must be able to produce
// the object some other way if the cache hit misses.
//
// - This must truly be a handle; e.g., the Python object referenced by
// this class must have static lifetime. This means we don't have to
// maintain strong ownership or deallocate the object when the C++ object
// dies. Static lifetime is a good idea in conjunction with the cache,
// since if you are producing a fresh object on miss you won't be
// maintaining object identity. If you need bidirectional ownership,
// you will want to factor out the pattern in TensorImpl with
// resurrection.
//
// This cache is expected to not improve perf under torchdeploy, as one
// interpreter will fill up the cache, and all the interpreters will be
// unable to use the slot. A potential improvement is to have multiple
// slots (one per interpreter), which will work in deployment scenarios
// where there a stable, fixed number of interpreters. You can also store
// the relevant state in the Python library, rather than in the non-Python
// library (although in many cases, this is not convenient, as there may
// not be a way to conveniently index based on the object.)
