/**
 * A weak hash map has only weak references to the key.  This means
 * that it allows the key to be garbage collected if they are not used
 * otherwise.  If this happens, the weak hash map will eventually
 * remove the whole entry from this map. <br>
 *
 * A weak hash map makes most sense, if the keys doesn't override the
 * <code>equals</code>-method: If there is no other reference to the
 * key nobody can ever look up the key in this table and so the entry
 * can be removed.  This table also works, if the <code>equals</code>
 * method is overloaded, e.g. with Strings as keys, but you should be
 * prepared that some entries disappear spontaneously. <br>
 *
 * You should also be prepared that this hash map behaves very
 * strange: The size of this map may spontaneously shrink (even if you
 * use a synchronized map and synchronize it); it behaves as if
 * another thread removes entries from this table without
 * synchronizations.  The entry set returned by <code>entrySet</code>
 * has similar phenomenons: The size may spontaneously shrink, or an
 * entry, that was in the set before, suddenly disappears. <br>
 *
 * A weak hash map is not meant for caches; use a normal map, with 
 * soft references as values instead.  <br>
 *
 * The weak hash map supports null values and null keys.  Null keys
 * are never deleted from the map (except explictly of course). 
 * The performance of the methods are similar to that of a hash map. <br>
 *
 * The value object are strongly referenced by this table.  So if a
 * value object maintains a strong reference to the key (either direct
 * or indirect) the key will never be removed from this map.  According
 * to Sun, this problem may be fixed in a future release.  It is not 
 * possible to do it with the jdk 1.2 reference model, though.
