/**
 * <p>A map where keys are compared using identity comparison (like
 * IdentityHashMap) but where the presence of an object as a key in
 * the map does not prevent it being garbage collected (like
 * WeakHashMap).  This class does not implement the Map interface
 * because it is difficult to ensure correct semantics for iterators
 * over the entrySet().</p>
 *
 * <p>Because we do not implement Map, we do not copy the questionable
 * interface where you can call get(k) or remove(k) for any type of k,
 * which of course can only have an effect if k is of type K.</p>
 *
 * <p>This map does not support null keys.</p>

/*
 * The approach
 * is to wrap each key in a WeakReference and use the wrapped value as
 * a key in an ordinary HashMap.  The WeakReference has to be a
 * subclass IdentityWeakReference (IWR) where two IWRs are equal if
 * they refer to the same object.  This enables us to find the entry
 * again.
