/**
 * This package contains an implementation of a bounded
 * {@link java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap} data structure.
 * <p>
 * {@link org.apache.groovy.util.concurrentlinkedhashmap.Weigher} is a simple interface
 * for determining how many units of capacity an entry consumes. Depending on
 * which concrete Weigher class is used, an entry may consume a different amount
 * of space within the cache. The
 * {@link org.apache.groovy.util.concurrentlinkedhashmap.Weighers} class provides
 * utility methods for obtaining the most common kinds of implementations.
 * <p>
 * {@link org.apache.groovy.util.concurrentlinkedhashmap.EvictionListener} provides the
 * ability to be notified when an entry is evicted from the map. An eviction
 * occurs when the entry was automatically removed due to the map exceeding a
 * capacity threshold. It is not called when an entry was explicitly removed.
 * <p>
 * The {@link org.apache.groovy.util.concurrentlinkedhashmap.ConcurrentLinkedHashMap}
 * class supplies an efficient, scalable, thread-safe, bounded map. As with the
 * <tt>Java Collections Framework</tt> the "Concurrent" prefix is used to
 * indicate that the map is not governed by a single exclusion lock.
 *
 * @see <a href="http://code.google.com/p/concurrentlinkedhashmap/">
