implementation, with pros/cons for different options.

Fred Drake 6f6df21bd8 Make weak references somewhat leaner, and (I think) make it possible to
implement with reasonable effort in Jython.

Fred Drake 0e2b05d487 Substantially updated; now includes a description of the proposed API and
rough outline of how the implementation should work.

Hopefully will be ready for broad posting sometime tomorrow.

Fred Drake 7626095211 Updated information on Dianne Hackborn's old vref proposal. A copy of
her original proposal has been included as an appendix, since it is hard
to get since DejaNews lost their old archives.

Fred Drake ac5bd5dbce Slight update regarding Dianne Hackborn's vref() proposal from 1995;
there was never an implementation.

Fred Drake 8b7310c518 Added some text describing the motivations for weak references, what is
available in Java, and pointers to previous work in Python.

There is a lot to be done before there can be a sample implementation;
issues related to implementation need to be discussed.
