 * WeakRef objects are used by the RMI runtime to hold potentially weak
 * references to exported remote objects in the local object table.
 *
 * This class extends the functionality of java.lang.ref.WeakReference in
 * several ways.  The methods pin() and unpin() can be used to set
 * whether the contained reference is strong or weak (it is weak upon
 * construction).  The hashCode() and equals() methods are overridden so
 * that WeakRef objects hash and compare to each other according to the
 * object identity of their referents.
