/**
 * <p>
 * A class which allows an {@link InMemoryNodeModel} to associate arbitrary objects with nodes.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Some special configuration implementations need additional data to be stored with their nodes structure. We call such
 * data &quot;references&quot; because objects required by a configuration are referenced. In such constellations, it is
 * necessary to keep track about the nodes associated with references even if they are replaced by others during an
 * update operation of the model. This is the task of this class.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Basically, an instance manages a map associating nodes with reference objects. When a node is replaced the map gets
 * updated. References becoming orphans because the nodes pointing to them were removed are tracked, too. They may be of
 * importance for special configuration implementations as they might require additional updates. A concrete use case
 * for this class is {@code XMLConfiguration} which stores the DOM nodes represented by configuration nodes as
 * references.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Implementation note: This class is intended to work in a concurrent environment. Instances are immutable. The
 * represented state can be updated by creating new instances which are then stored by the owning node model.
 * </p>
