025/**
026 * A map, each entry of which maps a Java <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2cmwkz">raw type</a> to an
027 * instance of that type. In addition to implementing {@code Map}, the additional type-safe
028 * operations {@link #putInstance} and {@link #getInstance} are available.
029 *
030 * <p>Like any other {@code Map<Class, Object>}, this map may contain entries for primitive types,
031 * and a primitive type and its corresponding wrapper type may map to different values.
032 *
033 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href=
034 * "https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/NewCollectionTypesExplained#classtoinstancemap"> {@code
035 * ClassToInstanceMap}</a>.
036 *
037 * <p>To map a generic type to an instance of that type, use {@link
038 * com.google.common.reflect.TypeToInstanceMap} instead.
039 *
040 * @param <B> the common supertype that all entries must share; often this is simply {@link Object}
