when running finalizers for weak references, the garbage collector spawns a new thread every time it has finalizers to run, which means that finalizers can be run out of order (where finalizers from a later collection get run first).

should we run all finalizers in a single thread? (which should probably have some queue (MVar?) where it gets all the finalizers from.
