    -- is no guarantee on how soon the finaliser is executed after the last
    -- reference was dropped; this depends on the details of the Haskell storage
    -- manager.  Indeed, there is no guarantee that the finalizer is executed at

    -- the whole action, even if it is not used directly
    -- inside. Note that it is not safe to return the pointer from
    -- the action and use it after the action completes. All uses
    -- of the pointer should be inside the
    -- 'withForeignPtr' bracket.  The reason for
    -- this unsafeness is the same as for
    -- 'unsafeForeignPtrToPtr' below: the finalizer
    -- may run earlier than expected, because the compiler can only
    -- track usage of the 'ForeignPtr' object, not
    -- a 'Ptr' object made from it.
