      public abstract class FinalizablePhantomReference<T>
      extends java.lang.ref.PhantomReference<T>
      implements FinalizableReference

  Phantom reference with a `finalizeReferent()` method which a background thread invokes after the garbage collector reclaims the referent. This is a simpler alternative to using a `ReferenceQueue`.

  Unlike a normal phantom reference, this reference will be cleared automatically.

    2.0
