-This makes use of the ''WeakReference'' to determine whether the object ID has been reused. However, this does not solve the third problem: The data will not be released when the object is destroyed. It will only be released on the next access, or if a garbage collection mechanism for the map is implement, which performs regular sweeps of the whole map.
+This makes use of the ''WeakReference'' to determine whether the object ID has been reused. However, this does not solve the third problem: The data will not be released when the object is destroyed. It will only be released on the next access with an object that has the same reused ID, or if a garbage collection mechanism, which performs regular sweeps of the whole map, is implemented.
+A native weak map implementation will instead remove the value from the weak map as soon as the object key is destroyed.
