Note that when a key with equal value to an existing key (but not equal identity)
is inserted into the dictionary, it replaces the value but does not replace the
existing key::
existing key. Due to this, when the reference to the original key is deleted, it
also deletes entry in the dictionary::

d = WeakKeyDictionary()
d[k1] = 1 # d = {k1: 1}
