  // are not relying on the current address or reference of the View
  // unique_ptrs. If you do need the CB and View to be able to communicate with
  // each other, consider giving the View a reference or pointer to the CB when
  // the View is constructed. Then the View can query the CB for information
  // when it needs it.
