/**
 * The native resource part of an Activation.
 *
 * This holds the native handle.
 *
 * If the user loses a reference to a set of Providers without disposing them,
 * and GC determines the Activation is unreachable, then the next
 * activation or flush call will automatically dispose the unreachable objects
 *
 * The SystemResource instances are creating during activation, and
 * unattached during disposal.  When created, they always have a
 * strong reference to them via the {@code resources} static member.  Explicit
 * {@code dispose} calls will unregister the native resource and remove
 * references to the SystemResource object.  Absent an explicit dispose,
 * when their associated Activation object becomes garbage, the SystemResource
 * object will be enqueued on the reference queue and disposed at the
 * next call to {@code flush}.
