/**
 * Lazily associate a computed value with any {@code Class} object.
 * For example, if a dynamic language needs to construct a message dispatch
 * table for each class encountered at a message send call site,
 * it can use a {@code ClassValue} to cache information needed to
 * perform the message send quickly, for each class encountered.
 * <p>
 * The basic operation of a {@code ClassValue} is {@link #get get}, which
 * returns the associated value, initially created by an invocation to {@link
 * #computeValue computeValue}; multiple invocations may happen under race, but
 * exactly one value is associated to a {@code Class} and returned.
 * <p>
 * Another operation is {@link #remove remove}: it clears the associated value
 * (if it exists), and ensures the next associated value is computed with input
 * states up-to-date with the removal.
 * <p>
 * For a particular association, there is a total order for accesses to the
 * associated value.  Accesses are atomic; they include:
 * <ul>
 * <li>A read-only access by {@code get}</li>
 * <li>An attempt to associate the return value of a {@code computeValue} by
 * {@code get}</li>
 * <li>Clearing of an association by {@code remove}</li>
 * </ul>
 * A {@code get} call always include at least one access; a {@code remove} call
 * always has exactly one access; a {@code computeValue} call always happens
 * between two accesses.  This establishes the order of {@code computeValue}
 * calls with respect to {@code remove} calls and determines whether the
 * results of a {@code computeValue} can be successfully associated by a {@code
 * get}.
 *
 * @param <T> the type of the associated value
