given, no meta method will be installed.
+=item * weaken
+
+If true, the metaclass that is stored in the global cache will be a
+weak reference.
+
+Classes created in this way are destroyed once the metaclass they are
+attached to goes out of scope, and will be removed from Perl's internal
+symbol table.
+
+All instances of a class with a weakened metaclass keep a special
+reference to the metaclass object, which prevents the metaclass from
+going out of scope while any instances exist.
+
+This only works if the instance is based on a hash reference, however.
