public interface SingletonInterface<A>

TODO: Javadoc Contains methods for mutating the content element in a singleton object, which can be virtualized. By using this interface, we can allow classes to act as singletons, without requiring them to inherit from the Singleton class.

In addition to all the specialized uses in ImmutableSingletonInterface this interface is the basis of the rcf.core.util.reference package, which helps standardize the java language support for references of varying strength.
