/**
* This is the base class of all references. A reference allows
* refering to an object without preventing the garbage collector to
* 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.
