# Weak Reference class that allows a referenced object to be
# garbage-collected.
#
# A WeakRef may be used exactly like the object it references.
#
# Usage:
#
#   foo = Object.new            # create a new object instance
#   p foo.to_s                  # original's class
#   foo = WeakRef.new(foo)      # reassign foo with WeakRef instance
#   p foo.to_s                  # should be same class
#   GC.start                    # start the garbage collector
#   p foo.to_s                  # should raise exception (recycled)
#
