That way, if I forget to remove the event listener in a destroy method or
whatever, it should still end up eligible for GC.
Cases where the event doesn't fire because a weak reference was used only
happen if there are no strong references anywhere else, so the object rightly
gets GC'd
One cannot be sure that the object get GC'd right away or at all. lets
say you have a movieclip with a weak ENTER_FRAME listener on itself. the
movieclips references are all removed. The ENTER_FRAME could still be
dispatched, and is out of your control. However i think it's a good
practice to use weak eventlisteners.
