Gotcha. Looking at the code... I think you'll get this to
work, but manipulating such user-mode weak references seems
really expensive. Why not work on a DIP to get them built in?
For example, one option might be to have the GC perform certain
types of finalization while the world is stopped. This would
have to be limited to very rudimentary stuff, and the easiest
way to guarantee that would be to have everything live in
Druntime.
That makes a lot of sense, +1!
