// ReferenceProcessor class encapsulates the per-"collector" processing
// of java.lang.Reference objects for GC. The interface is useful for supporting
// a generational abstraction, in particular when there are multiple
// generations that are being independently collected -- possibly
// concurrently and/or incrementally.  Note, however, that the
// ReferenceProcessor class abstracts away from a generational setting
// by using only a heap interval (called "span" below), thus allowing
// its use in a straightforward manner in a general, non-generational
// setting.
//
// The basic idea is that each ReferenceProcessor object concerns
// itself with ("weak") reference processing in a specific "span"
// of the heap of interest to a specific collector. Currently,
// the span is a convex interval of the heap, but, efficiency
// apart, there seems to be no reason it couldn't be extended
// (with appropriate modifications) to any "non-convex interval".
