Comment (by SimonKing):

 * Can we be sure that `self.D` is not None when the `TripleDictEraser` is
 called? Scenario: The `TripleDict` used to contain an object O. For some
 reason, the `TripleDict` is part of a collectable reference cycle (hence,
 the strong reference held by the `TripleDictEraser` would not prevent
 deletion of the `TripleDict`), and gc decided to delete it first. Hence,
 when calling the eraser, the `TripleDict` itself and not just its buckets
 is already gone.
 * Shouldn't the same be done with the `MonoDictEraser`?
