I have no principal objection to a weak-list->list operation.
However, it may not be fast. I've thought of some way to cache the
result of this, but haven't come up with one which would not also
entail special-purpose code in the GC, which brings us back to
square one.
Isn't the whole idea with weak lists that they have special-purpose
code in the GC?
