/**
 * Implement a WeakReference key to be used in a collection.  Being a WeakReference, it will not
 * prevent the key from being Garbage Collected.  The key can only be created with a reference queue
 * so that users of this class provide cleanup logic which uses the items in the reference queue to
 * cleanup entries in the collection.
 * 
 * Note that the ReferenceQueue will contain the WeakKey instance that assocaited with the
 * referent that was GC'd.  So, the elements on the ReferenceQueue can be used to directly access
 * and remove entries in the collection it is a key for.  For example, one could do something
 * like the following in cleanup logic:
 *     Object gcKey = null;
 *     while ((gcKey = q.poll()) != null) {
 *         WeakKey wk = (WeakKey) gcKey;
 *          removedEntry = collection.remove(wk);
 *         ...
 *     }
