/**
* Track references to arbitrary objects using proxy and weak references. To
* monitor a handle, one should call {@link #monitor(Object, ReleaseListener)},
* with the given handle object usually being a holder that uses the target
* object underneath, and the release listener performing cleanup of the
* target object once the handle is not strongly referenced anymore.
*
* When a given handle becomes weakly reachable, the specified listener
* will be called by a background thread. This thread will only be started
* lazily and will be stopped once no handles are registered for monitoring
* anymore, to be restarted if further handles are added.
*
*
Thanks to Tomasz Wysocki for the suggestion and the original
* implementation of this class!
