 WeakArrays are used to trace disposal of objects; in contrast to other
 objects, references by WeakArrays will NOT keep an object from dying.
 Instead, whenever an object kept in a WeakArray dies, its entry is nilled,
-and the WeakArray informed my the storage manager.

-Whenever the storage manager disposes an object referenced by a WeakArray,
-a disposeInterrupt is generated to DisposeInterruptHandler.
+and the WeakArray informed by the storage manager. This is done by sending a 
+disposeInterrupt.
 This interrupt is cought here and informs the watcher and, if there is
 a dependent, this one gets informed as well (I dont know, which of the
