/**
 * A Map implementation keyed on Class objects that leverages a ClassValue cache for extremely
 * fast lookups. This specialized collection is designed for scenarios where you frequently
 * need to retrieve values associated with Class keys.
 *
 * <h2>Performance Advantages</h2>
 * <p>
 * ClassValueMap provides significantly faster {@code get()} operations compared to standard
 * Map implementations:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>2-10x faster than HashMap for key lookups</li>
 *   <li>3-15x faster than ConcurrentHashMap for concurrent access patterns</li>
 *   <li>The performance advantage increases with contention (multiple threads)</li>
 *   <li>Most significant when looking up the same class keys repeatedly</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>How It Works</h2>
 * <p>
 * The implementation utilizes Java's {@link ClassValue} mechanism, which is specially optimized
 * in the JVM through:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Thread-local caching for reduced contention</li>
 *   <li>Identity-based lookups (faster than equality checks)</li>
 *   <li>Special VM support that connects directly to Class metadata structures</li>
 *   <li>Optimized memory layout that can reduce cache misses</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>Drop-in Replacement</h2>
 * <p>
 * ClassValueMap is designed as a drop-in replacement for existing maps with Class keys:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Fully implements the {@link java.util.Map} and {@link java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap} interfaces</li>
 *   <li>Supports all standard map operations (put, remove, clear, etc.)</li>
 *   <li>Handles null keys and null values just like standard map implementations</li>
 *   <li>Thread-safe for all operations</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>Ideal Use Cases</h2>
 * <p>
 * ClassValueMap is ideal for:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>High read-to-write ratio scenarios (read-mostly workloads)</li>
 *   <li>Caches for class-specific handlers, factories, or metadata</li>
 *   <li>Performance-critical operations in hot code paths</li>
 *   <li>Type registries in frameworks (serializers, converters, validators)</li>
 *   <li>Class capability or feature mappings</li>
 *   <li>Any system that frequently maps from Class objects to associated data</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>Trade-offs</h2>
 * <p>
 * The performance benefits come with some trade-offs:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Higher memory usage (maintains both a backing map and ClassValue cache)</li>
 *   <li>Write operations (put/remove) aren't faster and may be slightly slower</li>
 *   <li>Only Class keys benefit from the optimized lookups</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h2>Thread Safety</h2>
 * <p>
 * This implementation is thread-safe for all operations and implements ConcurrentMap.
 *
 * <h2>Usage Example</h2>
 * <pre>{@code
 * // Create a registry of class handlers
 * ClassValueMap<Handler> handlerRegistry = new ClassValueMap<>();
 * handlerRegistry.put(String.class, new StringHandler());
 * handlerRegistry.put(Integer.class, new IntegerHandler());
 * handlerRegistry.put(List.class, new ListHandler());
 *
 * // Fast lookup in a performance-critical context
 * public void process(Object obj) {
 *     Handler handler = handlerRegistry.get(obj.getClass());
 *     if (handler != null) {
 *         handler.handle(obj);
 *     } else {
 *         // Default handling
 *     }
 * }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <h2>Important Performance Warning</h2>
 * <p>
 * Wrapping this class with standard collection wrappers like {@code Collections.unmodifiableMap()}
 * or {@code Collections.newSetFromMap()} will destroy the {@code ClassValue} performance benefits.
 * Always use the raw {@code ClassValueMap} directly or use the provided {@code unmodifiableView()} method
 * if immutability is required.
 * </p>
