/**
* A {@code Map} implementation that allows mappings to be
* removed by the garbage collector.
* <p>
* When you construct a {@code 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}.
* </p>
* <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="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/WeakHashMap.html">
* {@code WeakHashMap}</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>
* <p>
* This map is similar to
* {@link org.apache.commons.collections4.map.ReferenceIdentityMap ReferenceIdentityMap}.
* It differs in that keys and values in this class are compared using {@code equals()}.
* </p>
* <p>
* This {@link java.util.Map Map} implementation does <em>not</em> allow null elements.
* Attempting to add a null key or value to the map will raise a {@code NullPointerException}.
* </p>
* <p>
* This implementation is not synchronized.
* You can use {@link java.util.Collections#synchronizedMap} to
* provide synchronized access to a {@code ReferenceMap}.
* Remember that synchronization will not stop the garbage collector removing entries.
* </p>
* <p>
* All the available iterators can be reset back to the start by casting to
* {@code ResettableIterator} and calling {@code reset()}.
* </p>
* <p>
* <strong>Note that ReferenceMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe.</strong>
* 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.
* </p>
* <p>
* NOTE: As from Commons Collections 3.1 this map extends {@code AbstractReferenceMap}
* (previously it extended AbstractMap). As a result, the implementation is now
* extensible and provides a {@code MapIterator}.
* </p>
*
* @param <K> the type of the keys in the map
* @param <V> the type of the values in the map
* @see java.lang.ref.Reference
* @since 3.0 (previously in main package v2.1)
