/**
* Generic, thread-safe cache implementation, usually storing cached instances
* in {@link java.lang.ref.Reference}s via {@link CacheValue}s.
* To use, instantiate a subclass which implements the createInstance() method,
* and call get() with the key and the data. The get() call will use the data
* only if it needs to call createInstance(), otherwise the data is ignored.
*
* When caching instances while the CacheValue "strength" is {@code SOFT},
* the Java runtime can later release these instances once they are not used any more at all.
* If such an instance is then requested again,
* the getInstance() method will call createInstance() again and reset the CacheValue.
* The cache holds on to its map of keys to CacheValues forever.
*
*
A value can be null if createInstance() returns null.
* In this case, it must do so consistently for the same key and data.
*
* @param Cache lookup key type
* @param Cache instance value type (must not be a CacheValue)
* @param Data type for creating a new instance value
*
