 There are two types of reference:
 
 * `node_api_reftype_strong_or_weak` - a reference to an object (`napi_object`)
-   that can be a strong or a weak reference. References with ref count greater
-   than 0 are strong references and references with ref count equal to 0 are
-   weak references. The values referenced by weak references can be collected

-   `napi_value`. To delete the reference we must use `napi_delete_reference`
