/**
 * A reflection-based utility that enables atomic updates to
 * designated {@code volatile} reference fields of designated
 * classes.  This class is designed for use in atomic data structures
 * in which several reference fields of the same node are
 * independently subject to atomic updates. For example, a tree node
 * might be declared as
 *
 * <pre>
 * class Node {
 *   private volatile Node left, right;
 *
 *   private static final AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater&lt;Node, Node&gt; leftUpdater =
 *     AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "left");
 *   private static AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater&lt;Node, Node&gt; rightUpdater =
 *     AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater.newUpdater(Node.class, Node.class, "right");
 *
 *   Node getLeft() { return left;  }
 *   boolean compareAndSetLeft(Node expect, Node update) {
 *     return leftUpdater.compareAndSet(this, expect, update);
 *   }
 *   // ... and so on
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Note that the guarantees of the {@code compareAndSet}
 * method in this class are weaker than in other atomic classes.
 * Because this class cannot ensure that all uses of the field
 * are appropriate for purposes of atomic access, it can
 * guarantee atomicity only with respect to other invocations of
 * {@code compareAndSet} and {@code set} on the same updater.
