Really a function like mkWeakIORef should be exposed for STRef's. I know
there's supposed to be a patch to normalize various weak'ish things
(ekmett?), maybe that function could be added at the same time.
Until then, I would suggesy unpacking the STRef to get at the underlying
MutVar#, and copy the IORef code (which IIRC also works on MutVar#) to
write the function yourself.

Hi,
I need to convert values of types STRef RealWorld a to IORef a in order to attach finalizers to them. For now, I am using GHC.IORef for this. Is there a better way to achieve what I want?
All the best, Wolfgang
