WeakCache<K, V extends Object> class

Weak cache that uses weak references for holding values. It's useful in cases when you want to hold an object in cache while it's in usage and remove it when it's no longer accessible.

Values (V) must not be a number, a string, a boolean, null, a dart:ffi pointer, a dart:ffi struct, or a dart:ffi union.
