    WeakIdentitySets behave like IdentitySets, as long as the contained
    objects are still referenced by some other (non-weak) object.
    However, once the last non-weak reference ceases to exist,
    the object will be automatically removed from the Weakcollection
    (with some delay: it will be removed after the next garbage collect).

    This class was added to support dependencies which do not
    prevent objects from dying. (i.e. which do not fill up your memory
    if you forget to #release it).
