/**
 *  An implementation of the <b>Adaptor</b> pattern.  The adaptor
 *  pattern allows new functionality to be assigned to an existing class.
 *  As implemented here, this is a smart lookup between
 *  a particular class (the class to be adapted, called
 *  the <em>subject class</em>) and some object instance
 *  that can provide the extra functionality (called the
 *  <em>adaptor</em>).  The implementation of the adaptor is not relevant
 *  to the AdaptorRegistry class.
 *
 *  <p>Adaptors are registered before they can be used; the registration maps a
 *  particular class to an adaptor instance.  The adaptor instance will be used
 *  when the subject class matches the registered class, or the subject class
 *  inherits from the registered class.
 *
 *  <p>This means that a search must be made that walks the inheritance tree
 *  (upwards from the subject class) to find a registered mapping.
 *
 *  <p>In addition, adaptors can be registered against <em>interfaces</em>.
 *  Searching of interfaces occurs after searching of classes.  The exact order is:
 *
 *  <ul>
 *  <li>Search for the subject class, then each super-class of the subject class
 *      (excluding java.lang.Object)
 *  <li>Search interfaces, starting with interfaces implemented by the subject class,
 *  continuing with interfaces implemented by the super-classes, then
 *  interfaces extended by earlier interfaces (the exact order is a bit fuzzy)
 *  <li>Search for a match for java.lang.Object, if any
 *  </ul>
 *
 *  <p>The first match terminates the search.
 *
 *  <p>The AdaptorRegistry caches the results of search; a subsequent search for the
 *  same subject class will be resolved immediately.
 * 
 *  <p>AdaptorRegistry does a minor tweak of the "natural" inheritance.
 *  Normally, the parent class of an object array (i.e., <code>Foo[]</code>) is
 *  simply <code>Object</code>, even though you may assign 
 *  <code>Foo[]</code> to a variable of type <code>Object[]</code>.  AdaptorRegistry
 *  "fixes" this by searching for <code>Object[]</code> as if it was the superclass of
 *  any object array.  This means that the search path for <code>Foo[]</code> is
 *  <code>Foo[]</code>, <code>Object[]</code>, then a couple of interfaces 
 *  {@link java.lang.Cloneable}, {@link java.io.Serializable}, etc. that are\
 *  implicitily implemented by arrarys), and then, finally, <code>Object</code>
 * 
 *  <p>
 *  This tweak doesn't apply to scalar arrays, since scalar arrays may <em>not</em>
 *  be assigned to <code>Object[]</code>. 
 *
 *  <p>This class is thread safe.
