Uhmm, what about the following: introduce post-constructors and pre-
finalizers and legislate that "pre-" stuff should keep invariants
intact and "optionally be prepared" for resurrection. The collector
would ensure two phase processing: the pre-finalizers for all
collected objects would run first, followed by the finalizers (or
post-constructors [kinda "resurrectors"] for the resurrected stuff).
The A's pre-finalizer would then be able to "safely access" B. The
same would also apply to B's pre-finalizer (if any) WRT A. Well,
also: < pls see (g) >
