Hi Nikita, After reading the RFC, I have no comments to make, but I just want to thank you for working on this. I regretted a lot that this wasn't implemented together with WeakReference in PHP 7.4 <https://externals.io/message/106373>, as the use cases for WeakReference vs WeakMap are really narrow.
