/**
 * A <code>Map</code> implementation that allows mappings to be
 * removed by the garbage collector and matches keys and values based
 * on <code>==</code> not <code>equals()</code>.
 * <p>
 * <p>
 * When you construct a <code>ReferenceIdentityMap</code>, 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 Reference}.
 * <p>
 * Different types of references can be specified for keys and values.
 * The default constructor uses hard keys and soft values, providing a
 * memory-sensitive cache.
 * <p>
 * This map is similar to
 * {@link org.apache.commons.collections.map.ReferenceMap ReferenceMap}.
 * It differs in that keys and values in this class are compared using <code>==</code>.
 * <p>
 * This map will violate the detail of various Map and map view contracts.
 * As a general rule, don't compare this map to other maps.
 * <p>
 * This {@link java.util.Map Map} implementation does <i>not</i> allow null elements.
 * Attempting to add a null key or value to the map will raise a <code>NullPointerException</code>.
 * <p>
 * This implementation is not synchronized.
 * You can use {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap} to 
 * provide synchronized access to a <code>ReferenceIdentityMap</code>.
 * Remember that synchronization will not stop the garbage collecter removing entries.
 * <p>
 * All the available iterators can be reset back to the start by casting to
 * <code>ResettableIterator</code> and calling <code>reset()</code>.
