While weak hash tables are fully functional, there is a subtle difference in how they behave that I haven't addressed yet [1]. Apart from that, the only incompatibility I know of is the lack of `gc-live-object-stats', which can certainly be implemented but is just slightly boring to do. ;-) Thanks, Ludo'.
