        //
        // Some historical context. In the early days of Rx, we discovered an issue with
        // the rooting of timers, causing them to get GC'ed even when the IDisposable of
        // a scheduled activity was kept alive. The original code simply created a timer
        // as follows:
        //
        //   var t = default(Timer);
        //   t = new Timer(_ =>
        //   {
        //       t = null;
        //       Debug.WriteLine("Hello!");
        //   }, null, 5000, Timeout.Infinite);
        //
        // IIRC the reference to "t" captured by the closure wasn't sufficient on .NET CF
        // to keep the timer rooted, causing problems on Windows Phone 7. As a result, we
        // added rooting code using a dictionary (SD 7280), which we carried forward all
        // the way to Rx v2.0 RTM.
        //
        // However, the desktop CLR's implementation of System.Threading.Timer exhibits
        // other characteristics where a timer can root itself when the timer is still
        // reachable through the state or callback parameters. To illustrate this, run
        // the following piece of code:
        //
        //   static void Main()
        //   {
        //       Bar();
        //   
        //       while (true)
        //       {
        //           GC.Collect();
        //           GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
        //           Thread.Sleep(100);
        //       }
        //   }
        //   
        //   static void Bar()
        //   {
        //       var t = default(Timer);
        //       t = new Timer(_ =>
        //       {
        //           t = null; // Comment out this line to see the timer stop
        //           Console.WriteLine("Hello!");
        //       }, null, 5000, Timeout.Infinite);
        //   }
        //
        // When the closure over "t" is removed, the timer will stop automatically upon
        // garbage collection. However, when retaining the reference, this problem does
        // not exist. The code below exploits this behavior, avoiding unnecessary costs
        // to root timers in a thread-safe manner.
        //
        // Below is a fragment of SOS output, proving the proper rooting:
        //
        //   !gcroot 02492440
        //    HandleTable:
        //        005a13fc (pinned handle)
        //        -> 03491010 System.Object[]
        //        -> 024924dc System.Threading.TimerQueue
        //        -> 02492450 System.Threading.TimerQueueTimer
        //        -> 02492420 System.Threading.TimerCallback
        //        -> 02492414 TimerRootingExperiment.Program+<>c__DisplayClass1
        //        -> 02492440 System.Threading.Timer
        //
        // With the USE_TIMER_SELF_ROOT symbol, we shake off this additional rooting code
        // for newer platforms where this no longer needed. We checked this on .NET Core
        // as well as .NET 4.0, and only #define this symbol for those platforms.
        //
        // NB: 4/13/2017 - All target platforms for the 4.x release have the self-rooting
        //                 behavior described here, so we removed the USE_TIMER_SELF_ROOT
        //                 symbol.
