It's interesting to think about though.
I'd definitely find a use for them;) I might just patch our
installations to provide me with the zval-refcount and go with that for
now...I have been warned, but I have to burn myself before I believe
that boiling water is hot;)
I just thought of another design-pattern which could make use of
WeakReferences...The composite design pattern.

A parent references its childs and each child references its parent.
circular-reference nightmare...with WeakReferences I could use a
weakReference for storing the parent...so that if the parents last real
reference is discarded the childs will cleaned out as well.
