Hi Alan,
So any user of the Cleaner can take advantage of the mechanism, for 
example in a different package or module.
For example, Netbeans.
Cleaner + Cleanable need to be public of course so maybe we should wait 
for the examples that extend WeakCleanableRef or cast the Cleanable to a 
WeakCleanableRef before seeing if this is the right thing or not.
