You said that the value associated with each key is always an
integer, right?  In that case, the value is always survive_gc_p, so it will
never cause the key&value pair to be removed, so whether only `key'
or both key&value are weak shouldn't make any difference.
The only reason why I originally suggested to use `key' is that it
expresses more clearly what you want to see happen.  And it will
make a real difference if you ever decide to use values more complex than
just integers.
