|Matz: are you suggesting renaming this C implementation "WeakPtr" (or something), make it part of Ruby core, and let the old WeakRef class die off?

I am not sure if we use your C implementation.  But at least I agree
to replace the old WeakRef by one with better API, and let it die
gradually.  Right now I am thinking of something like WeakMap that
does not represent an object, but collection of objects, so that each
implementation choose the best implementation for the job.
