I will submit the changesets to ObjectMemory and corresponding
image-level class.
What i am talking about here is a lightweight changes to support
finalization, proposed earlier.
It will require a simple change in a single place in VM, and require a
new special object (to designate a special kind of instance, which
holds a single weak reference and need special treating, when it
became garbage).

There also a more complex thing - ephemerons, but it requires more
deep changes to GC.
