    > > Torque currently generates constants like kStartOfWeakFieldsOffset and
    > > kEndOfStrongFieldsOffset, which can be used when writing custom
    > > BodyDescriptors. However, these offsets have some potentially confusing
    > > behaviors:

    > > * They don't take inheritance into account and describe only the fields
    > >   defined by the current class itself, so there might be (for example)
    > >   strong fields before kStartOfStrongFieldsOffset if they were defined
    > >   by a superclass.
    > > * kStartOfWeakFieldsOffset points to the first field defined in Torque
    > >   using the keyword `weak`, which indicates fields with *custom*
    > >   weakness semantics (those that should be visited with
    > >   IterateCustomWeakPointers), not those that may contain standard weak
    > >   pointers (visited with IterateMaybeWeakPointers). (As a follow-up, I'd
    > >   like to also rename `weak` to `@customWeak`.)
