require "delegate"
-# WeakRef is a class to represent a reference to an object that is not seen by
-# the tracing phase of the garbage collector. This allows the referenced
-# object to be garbage collected as if nothing is referring to it. Because
-# WeakRef delegates method calls to the referenced object, it may be used in
-# place of that object, i.e. it is of the same duck type.
+# Weak Reference class that allows a referenced object to be
+# garbage-collected.
+#
+# A WeakRef may be used exactly like the object it references.
#
# Usage:
#
-# foo = Object.new
-# foo = Object.new
-# p foo.to_s # original's class
-# foo = WeakRef.new(foo)
-# p foo.to_s # should be same class
-# ObjectSpace.garbage_collect
-# p foo.to_s # should raise exception (recycled)
-class WeakRef<Delegator
+# foo = Object.new # create a new object instance
+# p foo.to_s # original's class
+# foo = WeakRef.new(foo) # reassign foo with WeakRef instance
+# p foo.to_s # should be same class
+# GC.start # start the garbage collector
+# p foo.to_s # should raise exception (recycled)
