/**
* Provides reference-counted mutexes suitable for synchronization in the context of a supplied object.
*
* Context objects and their associated mutexes are stored in a {@link Map}. Client code is responsible to invoke
* {@link Mutex#close()} on the obtained {@link Mutex} after having synchronized on the mutex; failure to do so
* will leave an entry residing in the internal {@link Map} which may have adverse effects on the ability to garbage
* collect the context object and the mutex.
*
* The returned {@link Mutex}es implement {@link Closeable}, so can be conveniently used in a try-with-resources statement.
*
* Typical usage would allow, for example, synchronizing access to a {@link java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap} on a
* per-key basis, to avoid blocking other threads which could perform updates on other entries of the {@link Map}.
*
*
{@code
* class Test {
*
* private final ContextMutexFactory mutexFactory = new ContextMutexFactory();
* private final ConcurrentMap mapToSync = new ConcurrentHashMap();
*
* public String getValueForKey(String key) {
* ContextMutexFactory.Mutex mutex = mutexFactory.mutexFor(key);
* try {
* synchronized (mutex) {
* // critical section - this thread is the only one trying to add value under this key
* String value = mapToSync.get(key);
* if (value == null) {
* value = ...; // compute the value
* mapToSync.put(key, value);
* }
* return value;
* }
* } finally {
* mutex.close();
* }
* }
