Meanwhile, i'll try to implement two test cases for WeakRegistryTest.

One, should cover following:

coll := OrderedCollection new.
obj := Object new.
wrapper := WeakArray with: obj.
coll add: wrapper.

obj toFinalizeSend: #remove: to: coll with: wrapper.
obj toFinalizeSend: #remove: to: coll with: wrapper.
obj toFinalizeSend: #remove: to: coll with: wrapper.
obj toFinalizeSend: #remove: to: coll with: wrapper.

obj := nil.
Smalltalk garbageCollect.

i.e somehow, user should be notified that there is an error during finalization.

And second test case is to make sure that if one finalizer unable to
complete due to error,
the other ones (and finalization process itself) should continue
running, skipping over errorneous finalizer.
