I was precisely hoping there was a WeakRef implementation the other day.
This would be very useful for a simple data mapper, where you could keep
references to loaded objects and a cache of their original properties, to
compute the changeset to sync to the DB when save()ing them.
WeakRefs would allow to automatically clean up the cache of loaded
properties when the object goes out of scope and is reclaimed by the GC.

So, FWIW, big +1 from me, and thank you for the RFC and the PR! =F0=9F=91=
