Comment (by nbruin):

 So one action point: Have you considered just leaving the codomain
 strongly referenced? Apart from the fact that `_make_weak` and
 `_make_strong` on map compositions still needs to recurse into components,
 it should make compositions easier to work with, because the first map
 will keep the middle (co)domain alive, as desired.

 It also means `_codomain` can remain a fast slot.

 I currently don't see a scenario where weakening the codomain reference
 buys us anything, especially because maps internally will usually
 reference the codomain.

 Another action point: see if `_coerce_from_list` can simply be thrown
 away.
