 * <p><strong>ReadWriteLocks</strong>

 * <p>While {@code ReadWriteLock} instances have different properties and can form cycles without
 * potential deadlock, this class treats {@code ReadWriteLock} instances as equivalent to

   * that this uses unsigned integers (see {@link com.google.common.primitives.UnsignedInts}).

   * <p>Fingerprint2011() is a form of Murmur2 on strings up to 32 bytes and a form of CityHash for
   * longer strings. It could have been one or the other throughout. The main advantage of the
