In the spirit of intrinsic::hashcode, a WeakRef.<T> built-in type
would give library authors the tools needed to make their own
dictionary classes till the cows come home. But again I would hope
that we could provide one simple, guaranteed-to-be-there, default
implementation.
We still might want WeakRef.<T> for other use-cases.
