Comment:

 This is related with a couple of other tickets that aim at using weak
 references:

  * #11521 uses weak references for the cache of homsets.
  * #715, which aims at using weak references for the coercion cache.

 I think the whole project only makes sense if ''all three'' approaches are
 simultaneously used. Two of them will not be enough.

 Currently, I test on top of #11521 and some preliminary patch for #715,
 whether it is now possible to simply use a `WeakValueDictionary`. If it
 still doesn't then we should revive Martin's patch.
