The required design is that a resource handle must reside in a
non-resource object, that object must be reference counted too to
ensure correctness of resource management, and you can't
guarantee reliably that those non-resource objects don't form a
cyclic graph. If you must manually verify the graph and put weak
references appropriately - what kind of design in that?
