Thanks! However, calling this class WeakRef would introduce a potential BC break, and would be a particular issue regarding the PHP manual, which does not allow to document two classes with exactly the same name. Even if Etienne would officially cease the further development of PECL/Weakref[1], having a class with the same name appears to be confusing at best. Maybe another name should be chosen for the class? Or maybe we should finally introduce the \PHP namespace? [1] <https://pecl.php.net/package/Weakref> -- Christoph M. Becker
