/**
 * This is the base class of all references.  A reference allows
 * refering to an object without preventing the garbage collector from
 * collect it.  The only way to get the referred object is via the
 * <code>get()</code>-method.  This method will return
 * <code>null</code> if the object was collected. <br>
 *
 * A reference may be registered with a queue.  When a referred
 * element gets collected the reference will be put on the queue, so
 * that you will be notified. <br>
 *
 * There are currently three types of references:  soft reference,
 * weak reference and phantom reference. <br>
 *
 * Soft references will be cleared if the garbage collector is told
 * to free some memory and there are no unreferenced or weakly referenced
 * objects.  It is useful for caches. <br>
 *
 * Weak references will be cleared as soon as the garbage collector
 * determines that the refered object is only weakly reachable.  They
 * are useful as keys in hashtables (see <code>WeakHashtable</code>) as
 * you get notified when nobody has the key anymore.
 *
 * Phantom references don't prevent finalization.  If an object is only
 * phantom reachable, it will be finalized, and the reference will be
 * enqueued, but not cleared.  Since you mustn't access an finalized
 * object, the <code>get</code> method of a phantom reference will never
 * work.  It is useful to keep track, when an object is finalized.
