Charles and Frank ,

With all the talk on weak references etc, do you know of any good documents online that cover this in detail ?. It would be good to glean a view of the tricks and techniques people have come up with on RB on this issue over the

To be honest, I can't remember another situation except for trees
where I actually needed weak refs. Well maybe a double-linked

ontop.

A self-cleaning file cache is another a useful case.

Managers for persistent objects -- you don't want two copies of the
same object in existence, but you also don't want to eventually hold
an entire table in RAM.  I use this quite a bit.
