vala handles the strong reference within the compiler. GList in vala
holds a strong reference to the data objects by default, which explains
the absence of the first weak in the class definition. I don't
understand the second absence of weak. believe or not, the vala compiler
handles GList very well and there is no problem.

Vala handles the difference within the compiler too. I believe there is
a special vala attribute in glib-2.0.vapi to let the compiler know that
'this' has changed after the function is called.
