/**
 * Keeps track of various current instances for the current thread. All the
 * instances are automatically cleared after handling a request from the client
 * to avoid leaking memory. The inheritable values are also maintained when
 * execution is moved to another thread, both when a new thread is created and
 * when {@link VaadinSession#access(Runnable)} or {@link UI#access(Runnable)} is
 * used.
 * <p>
 * Please note that the instances are stored using {@link WeakReference}. This
 * means that the a current instance value may suddenly disappear if there a no
 * other references to the object.
 * <p>
 * Currently the framework uses the following instances:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Inheritable: {@link UI}, {@link VaadinService}, {@link VaadinSession}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Non-inheritable: {@link VaadinRequest}, {@link VaadinResponse}.
