Comment:

 I think it is best to follow your suggestion and split stuff.

 Soon (perhaps tomorrow) I'll return to the old patch, i.e. without
 touching the groupoid stuff. In a to-be-created ticket, I'll try the idea
 for caching groupoids that avoids memory leaks but uses ''strong''
 references, as explained in my previous post.

 However, I think the weak references to the underlying set of actions is
 an integral part of #715 - without it, the memory leak would not be fixed
 at all; so, I'd not split #715.
