027/**
028 * A map, each entry of which maps a Java <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2cmwkz">raw type</a> to an
029 * instance of that type. In addition to implementing {@code Map}, the additional type-safe
030 * operations {@link #putInstance} and {@link #getInstance} are available.
031 *
032 * <p>Like any other {@code Map<Class, Object>}, this map may contain entries for primitive types,
033 * and a primitive type and its corresponding wrapper type may map to different values.
034 *
035 * <h3>Implementations</h3>
036 *
037 * <ul>
038 *   <li>{@link ImmutableClassToInstanceMap}
039 *   <li>{@link MutableClassToInstanceMap}
040 * </ul>
041 *
042 * <p>To map a generic type to an instance of that type, use {@link
043 * com.google.common.reflect.TypeToInstanceMap} instead.
044 *
045 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href=
046 * "https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/NewCollectionTypesExplained#classtoinstancemap">{@code
047 * ClassToInstanceMap}</a>.
048 *
049 * @param <B> the common supertype that all values will share. When in doubt, just use {@link
050 *     Object}, or use {@code @Nullable Object} to allow null values.
051 * @since 2.0
