Comment(by ezyang):
I'd like to remark that it is not at all clear from the documentation at
System.Mem.Weak that there is no continuity of objects between thunks and
evaluated values. I was going to also give an example of how the behavior
was different if you just did a normal Haskell file, but I couldn't get
the finalizer to run at all in that case. Oops.
