Do you have a use case?
*If* we wanted to support removals (I don't think we should), I would
do something like this:
public class ClassLoader {
public Reference<?> keepReferenceTo(Object o) { ... }
...
}
You could call clear() on the returned reference to clear the
ClassLoader's reference. Internally, it would use some sort of CAS
doubly-linked list.
