    Registries provide an easy interface to using WeakArrays. 

    A class, which wants to be informed of instance-death, can put a created object

    into a registry. The registry will create a (shallow-)copy of the object, and

    watch out for death of the original object. When it dies, the copy will

    be sent the #disposed-message.

    The trick with the shallow copy is especially nice, you can think of it as

    being the original object which died.

    All objects, which keep external resources (such as fileDescriptors, fonts, 

    colormap-entries etc.) should be registered, so that the underlying resource

    can be freed when the object goes away.

    Of course, you too can use it to do whatever you need to do in case of the

    death of an object.

    Registries use #shallowCopyForFinalization to aquire the copy of the original,

    this can be redefined in registered classes for faster copying 

    (typically, not all internal state but only some device handles are needed for 

    finalization). I if the to-be-registered object is large, this method may also

    return a stub (placeHolder) object. (i.e. there is no need for the copy to be

    of the same class as the original, as long as it implements disposed and frees

    the relevant OS resources ...)
