Thanks for your response. Since it allows to compile more sources  
without changes I'd leave the weak support in obrowser, but I'd make  
it clear in the documentation that so far no weak pointer will ever be  
reclaimed.

So to sum up using react in obrowser will leak, however it doesn't  
leak in "traditional" environments.

But in this "chunk" can you repeatedly get external (in the sense  
primitive) input ?

Because _if_ you can't then in the breakout game example where you  
need to constantly gather (external) time and keyboards events you  
cannot "pipe" those under a single bind where you create the game  
simulation and logic signals needed  for a game run as any new  
keyboard or time event would garbage collect them. In that case the  
game signals need to be defined outside a toplevel bind and cannot be  
garbage collected by froc, it wouldn't be fixed "by wrapping  
everything in a top-level bind".
