/**
 * This abstract ReentrantContextProvider helper class manages the creation,
 * storage, and retrieval of concrete ReentrantContext instances which can be
 * subclassed to hold cached contextual data.
 *
 * It supports reentrancy as every call to acquire() provides a new unique context
 * instance that must later be returned for reuse by a call to release(ctx)
 * (typically in a try/finally block).
 *
 * It has a couple of abstract implementations which store references in a queue
 * and/or thread-local storage.
 * The Providers can be configured to hold ReentrantContext instances in memory
 * using hard, soft or weak references.
 *
 * The acquire() and release() methods are used to retrieve and return the contexts.
 *
 * The {@code newContext()} method remains abstract in all implementations and
 * must be provided by the module to create a new subclass of ReentrantContext
 * with the appropriate contextual data in it.
 *
 * Sample Usage:
 * - create a subclass ReentrantContextImpl to hold the thread state:
 *
 * static final class ReentrantContextImpl extends ReentrantContext {
 *     // specific cached data
 * }
 *
 * - create the appropriate ReentrantContextProvider:
 *
 * private static final ReentrantContextProvider<ReentrantContextImpl> contextProvider =
 *     new ReentrantContextProviderTL<ReentrantContextImpl>(ReentrantContextProvider.REF_WEAK)
 *     {
 *         @Override
 *         protected ReentrantContextImpl newContext() {
 *             return new ReentrantContextImpl();
 *         }
 *     };
 * ...
 * void someMethod() {
 *     ReentrantContextImpl ctx = contextProvider.acquire();
 *     try {
 *         // use the context
 *     } finally {
 *         contextProvider.release(ctx);
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * @param <K> ReentrantContext subclass
 *
 * @see ReentrantContext
