/**
* SoftCache is a cache of key-value pairs that is held entirely
* by soft references. It is meant to be used as a memory sensitive cache,
* in which any stored value may be removed by the garbage collector
* if the memory runs low. The is no ordering or preference as to which
* object might be removed. Because values may be removed by the 
* garbage collector thread, it is quite expensive to query the size of
* the cache at any one time, because it will not be the same as the
* number of keys.
