/**
 * A soft reference which is held strongly for a while after last access.
 * Lifecycle:
 * 
    *
  1. Created. Referent held strongly. A task is scheduled into the request * processor for some time in the future (currently 30 seconds).
  2. *
  3. Expired. After the timeout, the reference switches to a normal soft * reference.
  4. *
  5. Touched. If the value is accessed before it is garbage collected, * whether the reference is expired or not, the reference is "touched". * This means that the referent is again held strongly and the timeout * is started from scratch.
  6. *
  7. Dead. If after expiry there is no access before the next full GC cycle, * the GC algorithm may reclaim the reference. In this case the reference * of course dies. As a bonus, it will try to remove itself as the value * from a map of your choice, to make it convenient to use these references * as values in a caching map without leaking memory for the key.
