Ok, that makes +5 on including it, no negative response so far.

We'll only have to sort out whether to make it opt-in (the
current state of the patch) or opt-out. The latter would
certainly enable better testing of the code, but I understand
that Jeremy doesn't want to destabilize the release just now.

Perhaps we'll need a third alpha release ?! (the weak reference
implementation and the other goodies need much more testing IMHO
than just one alpha cycle)
