Moreover, i personally don't understand, why WeakRegistry have to be a
subclass of Collection.

What
registry copy reject, select etc
means to weak registry?

My gut feeling that this is conceptually wrong.
One should not use any kind of copying on weak registry.

I think, that more intention revealing , one should send:
registry discardFinalization: anObject
instead of:
registry remove: anObject
