Weakref problem: no way to get original object from proxy object?

[John Nagle]

Is there some way to get a strong ref to the original object back
from a weakref proxy object? I can't find any Python function to do this.
".ref()" doesn't work on proxy objects.

Add a method to the original class that just returns self.

About your backref function: Yes, I usually use something like that, it's
annoying having to handle None always.
