Research direction
Start by reproducing the Mono failure in test_deque.test_container_iterator and inspect the weakref behavior exercised by that test. Trace the relevant IronPython runtime and test code to determine why the weak reference is retained; done means the test passes on Mono without regressing other container-iterator behavior.
