     34  * General-purpose phantom-reference-based cleaners.
     35  *
     36  * <p> Cleaners are a lightweight and more robust alternative to finalization.
     37  * They are lightweight because they are not created by the VM and thus do not
     38  * require a JNI upcall to be created, and because their cleanup code is
     39  * invoked directly by the reference-handler thread rather than by the
     40  * finalizer thread.  They are more robust because they use phantom references,
     41  * the weakest type of reference object, thereby avoiding the nasty ordering
     42  * problems inherent to finalization.
     43  *
     44  * <p> A cleaner tracks a referent object and encapsulates a thunk of arbitrary
     45  * cleanup code.  Some time after the GC detects that a cleaner's referent has
     46  * become phantom-reachable, the reference-handler thread will run the cleaner.
     47  * Cleaners may also be invoked directly; they are thread safe and ensure that
     48  * they run their thunks at most once.
     49  *
     50  * <p> Cleaners are not a replacement for finalization.  They should be used
     51  * only when the cleanup code is extremely simple and straightforward.
     52  * Nontrivial cleaners are inadvisable since they risk blocking the
     53  * reference-handler thread and delaying further cleanup and finalization.
     54  *
