On ticket #12323 we found that the use of `WeakValueDictionaries` as
caches can cause `removal` callbacks in rather harsh environments. Normal
`WeakValueDictionaries` remove keys with dead values by looking up the
key. This involves Python equality testing on the key, which can cause any
kind of operation in Sage. We need a dictionary where we can delete
entries without key comparisons. See below for possible strategies.
