Description
Hey.
I need to store V8 callbacks as weak references, with the finalizer callback so I can remove the reference when appropriate.
I've worked out how to do this with v8::Function, but I was hoping to keep the Nan::Callback wrapper intact in case of future API changes. Unfortunately the documentation is quite bare.
Is there a way to do this?
