/**
* A Map implementation that allows mappings to be
* removed by the garbage collector.
*
* When you construct a ReferenceMap, you can specify what kind
* of references are used to store the map's keys and values.
* If non-hard references are used, then the garbage collector can remove
* mappings if a key or value becomes unreachable, or if the JVM's memory is
* running low. For information on how the different reference types behave,
* see {@link java.lang.ref.Reference Reference}.
*
* Different types of references can be specified for keys and values.
* The keys can be configured to be weak but the values hard,
* in which case this class will behave like a
*
* WeakHashMap. However, you can also specify hard keys and
* weak values, or any other combination. The default constructor uses
* hard keys and soft values, providing a memory-sensitive cache.
*
* This map is similar to
* {@link org.apache.commons.collections.map.ReferenceIdentityMap ReferenceIdentityMap}.
* It differs in that keys and values in this class are compared using equals().
*
* This {@link java.util.Map Map} implementation does not allow null elements.
* Attempting to add a null key or value to the map will raise a NullPointerException.
*
* This implementation is not synchronized.
* You can use {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap} to
* provide synchronized access to a ReferenceMap.
* Remember that synchronization will not stop the garbage collecter removing entries.
*
* All the available iterators can be reset back to the start by casting to
* ResettableIterator and calling reset().
*
* Note that ReferenceMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe.
* If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use
* appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map
* using {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap}. This class may throw
* exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.
*
* NOTE: As from Commons Collections 3.1 this map extends AbstractReferenceMap
* (previously it extended AbstractMap). As a result, the implementation is now
* extensible and provides a MapIterator.
*
* @see java.lang.ref.Reference
*
* @since Commons Collections 3.0 (previously in main package v2.1)
