    this is a special class to support keeping track of dependents without

    keeping the values alive - values simply become nil when no one else

    references it. The original dependency mechanism used a regular Dictionary,

    which usually leads to a lot of garbage being kept due to a forgotten

    release. Using a WeakDictionary may be incompatible to ST-80 but is much

    more comfortable, since no manual release of dependents is needed.
