    WeakArrays can be used to trace disposal of objects; in contrast to other

    objects, references by WeakArrays will NOT keep an object from being

    garbage collected.

    Instead, whenever an object kept in a WeakArray dies, its entry is zeroed,

    and the WeakArray is informed by the storage manager. The WeakArray itself

    then informs possible dependents via the dependency mechanism.

    WeakArrays are used to track disposal of objects which keep external

    world resources. For example, FileStreams must close their underlying

    file when disposed (otherwise you could run out of OS filedescriptors).

    This can be done by keeping the FileStream objects in a weakArray, and

    keep a parallel array of filedescriptors. Whenever a fileStream is

    freed, search both arrays for an index where the stream is zero, but the

    filedescriptor is non-nil. Then close that file, and nil the filedescriptor

    entry. Notice, that there is a class (Registry) which does exactly this in

    a more programmer friendly way.

    Another application is caching of data: keep it in a weakArray, so the

    data in that cache will not be unreclaimable due to being cached.

    (for example, the ResourcePack class uses a WeakArray to cache recently

     used resource data for a while).

    The way in which weakArrays get informed by the runtime system is via

    an interrupt (DisposeInterrupt) which is first sent to the disposeHandler

    (typically ObjectMemory). ObjectMemory then takes the required steps to

    notify all weakArrays via the #lostPointer message.

    The reason for not sending messages directly from the VM is to make it 

    possible to run the finalization code at lower priority or from another class. 

    Also, as a side effect, it is possible to delay finalization by blocking 

    interrupts. (thus, the actual sending of the #lostPointer message is under

    control of Smalltalk code, which is modifyable).

    A weakArray notifies its dependents via normal dependency notfications.

    [hint:] 

        WeakArray handling adds small some overhead to the VM 

        (each weakarray is scanned after each GC). 

        It is uncertain, if the current mechanism works well

        with (say) ten-thousands of weakArrays.

        We had the system running with >2000 weakArrays, some being quite

        big for a while and had a few percent of added gc time.

        The system as delivered creates between 50 and 100 weakArrays,

        but with many dependents, this number may grow.

        If you need the dependency mechanism on a huge number of objects,

        consider adding a (non-weak) dependents field to your class

        - take the implementation of Model as a guide (or subclass them

        from Model).

    As a possible option, we could perform the weakArray scanning only in

    the oldSpace reclamation code - this would remove most of the overhead,

    but will lead to much longer delayed finalization .... we will see.

    [instance variables:]

        dependents                  get informed via #change notifiction 

                                    that the weakArray has lost pointers.

                                    Having the dependents here is an optimization.

    [class variables:]

        RegistrationFailedSignal    raised if a weakArray cannot be

                                    registered by the VM. This only happens,

                                    if the VM has to resize its internal tables

                                    and is running out of malloc-memory.
