Stef,
I find it difficult to imagine your being dull on anything, but I guess we all have limits. :)
I have been pushing a little firmly on weak collections because Squeak/Pharo are _way_ behind where Dolphin was 12+ years ago, and it seems avoidable.
Yes I imagine well.
So far I have created very simple thread safe (hopefully) wrappers around Dictionary (SharedLookupTable) and Set. The dictionary can be weak in keys or values. I subclass from Object to minimize problems with super classes filling gaps w/o my knowledge.
this is why I suggest you publish some code in the PharoTaskForces and get some arguments with others and we all learn :)
