I've been looking over adding weak hashtable support to ECL, when I took a closer look at slime's use of them.
Weak hashtables are a useful feature, so if you want to add them to ECL, I would think this would be a good idea.
I word of warning:
Weak hashtables (and weak pointers in general) have significant implications for the garbage collector. Even after many attempts to fix the CMUCL garbage collector, the use of weak hashtables still causes problems.
