/**
 * A map, each entry of which maps a Java <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2cmwkz">raw type</a> to an
 * instance of that type. In addition to implementing {@code Map}, the additional type-safe
 * operations {@link #putInstance} and {@link #getInstance} are available.
 *
 * <p>Like any other {@code Map<Class, Object>}, this map may contain entries for primitive types,
 * and a primitive type and its corresponding wrapper type may map to different values.
 *
 * <p>This class's support for {@code null} requires some explanation: From release 31.0 onward,
 * Guava specifies the nullness of its types through annotations. In the case of {@code
 * ClassToInstanceMap}, it specifies that both the key and value types are restricted to
 * non-nullable types. This specification is reasonable for <i>keys</i>, which must be non-null
 * classes. This is in contrast to the specification for <i>values</i>: Null values <i>are</i>
 * supported by the implementation {@link MutableClassToInstanceMap}, even though that
 * implementation and this interface specify otherwise. Thus, if you use a nullness checker, you can
 * safely suppress any warnings it produces when you write null values into a {@code
 * MutableClassToInstanceMap}. Just be sure to be prepared for null values when reading from it,
 * since nullness checkers will assume that vaules are non-null then, too.
 *
 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href=
 * "https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/NewCollectionTypesExplained#classtoinstancemap">{@code
 * ClassToInstanceMap}</a>.
 *
 * <p>To map a generic type to an instance of that type, use {@link
 * com.google.common.reflect.TypeToInstanceMap} instead.
 *
 * @param <B> the common supertype that all entries must share; often this is simply {@link Object}
