I was surprised by this too, but found the CFDictionary alternative palatable:
// weak opaque-pointer keys
// strong object values
NSMutableDictionary *b = (id)CFDictionaryCreateMutable(nil, 0,
nil, &kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
// strong object keys
// weak opaque-pointer values
NSMutableDictionary *a = (id)CFDictionaryCreateMutable(nil, 0,
&kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks, nil);
// weak opaque-pointer keys
// weak opaque-pointer values
NSMutableDictionary *c = (id)CFDictionaryCreateMutable(nil, 0, nil, nil);
Unfortunately the NSMapTable omission means code that's shared between
iOS and OS X can't take advantage of zeroing weak references in the OS
X GC case, but perhaps that's a limited use case.
