/**
 * A Map that weakly references its values and can be used as a simple cache.
 * WeakValuedHashMap is not thread-safe and must be wrapped with
 * Collections.synchronizedMap to be made thread-safe.
 * 
 * Note: Weakly referenced entries may be automatically removed during
 * either accessor or mutator operations, possibly causing a concurrent
 * modification to be detected. Therefore, even if multiple threads are only
 * accessing this map, be sure to synchronize this map first. Also, do not
 * rely on the value returned by size() when using an iterator from this map.
 * The iterators may return less entries than the amount reported by size().
