It is good to finally have a WeakRef object. However in the long run, it would be far better if this was handled internally and "invisible" via language syntax - ie by using a "weak" qualifier. The current method not only is unnecessarily tedious, but also loses any kind of type-awareness. On has to do lots of casting, and any property that previously could be clearly seen as a specific class reference in the IDE, now becomes just a reference to a generic WeakRef object (unless one creates ones own subclass for each type ) Instead we should be able to specify any property as being a weak reference simply by clicking a check box marked "weak". This way we retain all the typing information and remove (hide?) all the weak object creation and management. This would remove the need for a weakref object entirely.
