Use of finalization is rightfully deprecated and problematic. Memory management of GObjects and other native types should be moved to use a cleaner-like mechanism with PhantomReferences. This should also take into account alternative options for managing handles for native objects in addressing #122 and #78

OK, extend current WeakReference in NativeObject to encapsulate the native pointer (actually a PointerType) and handle the various ref, unref, dispose, invalidate behaviours. Need to pass up from subclasses along with Initializer?
