OK, I admit I did sit for 5 minutes after reading this trying to think of a use 
for weak references to copies. (You'd have to get 'allKeys' or enumerate the 
keys before the collector had a chance to make off with them.) Another 5 
minutes I'll never get back.

Out of academic interest, then, I wonder what the answer is for strong key 
references.
