Comment:

 It seems that this is a rather common use of posets: You have some objects
 that refer back to their common container. Now label the poset elements
 with. This then keeps everything alive.

 Questions:
 * Poset has an optional `key=` argument, but it is seems to be not used by
 !UniqueRepresentation. Whats up with that?
 * Maybe Poset should support for weakly referenced labels?
 * !UniqueRepresentations could check that the key does not have a
 reference to the value for debugging purposes
