	// In Dalvik and ART, the jobject type in the JNI interface of the JVM has the
	// property that it is sometimes (always?) a small integer instead of a real pointer.
	// Note: although only the android JVMs are bad in this respect, we declare the JNI types
	// bad regardless of platform, so the same Go code compiles on both android and non-android.

     * read operations in Map. For example, no operation can reveal that the table has grown but the

     * respect to reads.

     * As a guide, all critical volatile reads and writes to the count field are marked in code
     * comments.
