|Something about this phrase bothers me.  How about simply, "A weak
|reference class that does not perform garbage collection".

But it's not true.  WeakRef class or any other class does not perform
garbage collection.  Garbage collector does.  WeakRef is a class to
represent reference to the object that is not seen by tracing phase of
the garbage collector.
