PPS: When writing tests for weak pairs, I realised I made a mistake in
my presentation: cyclic lists of weak pairs are not a problem, because
the cars would *still* be cleared.

The issue, IIUC, is when both the cdr and the car (or a car of one weak
pair and a cdr of another) refer to the same object, *then* it can't be
collected.
