/**
* 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!
