import java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue;
import java.lang.ref.WeakReference;

Hash table based mapping, which uses weak references to store keys and reference-equality in place of object-equality to compare them. An entry will automatically be removed when its key is no longer in ordinary use. Both null values and the null key are supported. This class does not require additional synchronization. A thread-safety is provided by a fragile combination of synchronized blocks and volatile fields. Be very careful during editing!
