/**
 * An abstract implementation of a hash-based map that allows the entries to
 * be removed by the garbage collector.
 * <p>
 * This class implements all the features necessary for a subclass reference
 * hash-based map. Key-value entries are stored in instances of the
 * <code>ReferenceEntry</code> class which can be overridden and replaced.
 * The iterators can similarly be replaced, without the need to replace the KeySet,
 * EntrySet and Values view classes.
 * <p>
 * Overridable methods are provided to change the default hashing behaviour, and
 * to change how entries are added to and removed from the map. Hopefully, all you
 * need for unusual subclasses is here.
 * <p>
 * When you construct an <code>AbstractReferenceMap</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 keys can be configured to be weak but the values hard,
 * in which case this class will behave like a
 * <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/WeakHashMap.html">
 * <code>WeakHashMap</code></a>. 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.
 * <p>
 * This {@link 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>
 * All the available iterators can be reset back to the start by casting to
 * <code>ResettableIterator</code> and calling <code>reset()</code>.
 * <p>
 * This implementation is not synchronized.
 * You can use {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap} to
 * provide synchronized access to a <code>ReferenceMap</code>.
