      A weak reference object will allow access to the referenced object
!     if it hasn't been collected, allows application code to either
!     "clear" the weak reference and the associated callback, and to
!     determine if the object still exists in memory.  These operations
!     are accessed via the .get(), .clear(), and .islive() methods.  If
!     the object has been collected, .get() will return None and
!     islive() will return false; calling .clear() will produce the same
!     result, and is allowed to occur repeatedly.  Weak references are
!     not hashable.
