* In order to explain the interaction between {@code get} and {@code remove} calls, * we must model the state transitions of a class value to take into account * the alternation between uninitialized and initialized states. * To do this, number these states sequentially from zero, and note that * uninitialized (or removed) states are numbered with even numbers, * while initialized (or re-initialized) states have odd numbers. *

* When a thread {@code T} removes a class value in state {@code 2N}, * nothing happens, since the class value is already uninitialized. * Otherwise, the state is advanced atomically to {@code 2N+1}. *

* When a thread {@code T} queries a class value in state {@code 2N}, * the thread first attempts to initialize the class value to state {@code 2N+1} * by invoking {@code computeValue} and installing the resulting value. *

* When {@code T} attempts to install the newly computed value, * if the state is still at {@code 2N}, the class value will be initialized * with the computed value, advancing it to state {@code 2N+1}. *

* Otherwise, whether the new state is even or odd, * {@code T} will discard the newly computed value * and retry the {@code get} operation. *

* Discarding and retrying is an important proviso, * since otherwise {@code T} could potentially install * a disastrously stale value. For example: *

* We can assume in the above scenario that {@code CV.computeValue} uses locks to properly * observe the time-dependent states as it computes {@code V1}, etc. * This does not remove the threat of a stale value, since there is a window of time * between the return of {@code computeValue} in {@code T} and the installation * of the the new value.
