let isLeaking;
const detector = new LeakDetector(reference);
// Reference is held in memory.
isLeaking = await detector.isLeaking();
console.log(isLeaking); // true
// We destroy the only reference to the object.
reference = null;
// Reference is gone.
isLeaking = await detector.isLeaking();
console.log(isLeaking); // false
