I think the addition to the Reference class specification should belong to the
reachabilityFence method specification. Any reason why not?
I suggest to change this (occurs in the class spec and the method spec):
<em>strongly reachable</em> (as defined in the {@link java.lang.ref} package
documentation),
to
<a href=“package-summary.html#reachability”><em>strongly reachable</em></a>
Should the reachabilityFence method throw NPE if ref is null?
