def make_obj_weakref_and_repr(obj: object) -> Tuple[object, str]:
    '''
    2-tuple ``(weakref, repr)`` weakly referring to the passed object.

    Parameters
    ----------
    obj : object
        Arbitrary object to be weakly referred to.

    Returns
    ----------
    Tuple[object, str]
        2-tuple ``(weakref, repr)`` weakly referring to this object such that:

        * ``weakref`` is either:

          * If this object supports weak references, a **weak reference** (i.e.,
            :class:`weakref.ref` instance) to this object.
          * If this object prohibits weak references (e.g., due to being a
            common C-based variable-sized container like a tuple or string),
            ``None``.

        * ``repr`` is the machine-readable representation of this object,
          truncated to ~10KB to minimize space consumption in the worst case of
          an obscenely large object.

        # Since this edge case is common, permitting this exception to unwind
        # the call stack is unacceptable; likewise, even coercing this exception

        # thus also unacceptable. The only sane solution remaining is to

def get_weakref_obj_or_repr(obj_weakref: object, obj_repr: str) -> object:
    '''
    Object weakly referred to by the passed object if this object is indeed a
    weak reference to another existing object *or* the passed machine-readable
    representation otherwise (i.e., if this object is either ``None`` *or* is a
    weak reference to a dead garbage-collected object).

    This function is typically passed the pair of objects returned by a prior
    call to the companion :func:`make_obj_weakref_and_repr` function.

    Parameters
    ----------
    obj_weakref : object
        Either:

        * If the **referent** (i.e., target object being weakly referred to) is
          the ``None`` singleton, the :data:`_WEAKREF_NONE` placeholder.
        * Else if the referent supports weak references, a **weak reference**
          (i.e., :class:`weakref.ref` instance) to that object.
        * Else, ``None``.
    obj_repr : str
        Machine-readable representation of that object, typically truncated to
        some number of characters to avoid worst-case space consumption.

    Returns
    ----------
    object
        Either:

        * If this weak reference is the :data:`_WEAKREF_NONE` placeholder, the
          ``None`` singleton.
        * Else if this referent support weak references, either:

          * If this referent is still alive (i.e., has yet to be
            garbage-collected), this referent.
          * Else, this referent is now dead (i.e., has already been
            garbage-collected). In this case, the passed representation.

        * Else, this referent does *not* support weak references (i.e., this
          weak reference is ``None``). In this case, the passed representation.

    Raises
    ----------
    _BeartypeUtilPythonWeakrefException
        If ``obj_weakref`` is invalid: i.e., neither ``None``,
        :data:`_WEAKREF_NONE`, nor a weak reference.
