/**
 * Encapsulates a threadsafe singleton pattern.
 *
 * This class is designed to be used as a public constant, living within a class that has a private constructor.
 * It defines a {@link #create(I)} method that will only ever be called once, upon the first call of {@link #get(I)}.
 * That method is responsible for creating the actual singleton instance, and that instance will be returned for all
 * future calls of {@link #get(I)}.
 *
 * Example:
 * <code>
 *     public class FooSingleton {
 *         public static final SingletonHolder&lt;FooSingleton, ParamObject&gt; HOLDER =
 *                 new SingletonHolder&lt;FooSingleton, ParamObject&gt;() {
 *                     @Override
 *                     protected FooSingleton create(ParamObject param) {
 *                         return new FooSingleton(param);
 *                     }
 *                 };
 *
 *         private FooSingleton(ParamObject param) {
 *
 *         }
 *     }
 *
 *     // somewhere else
 *     FooSingleton.HOLDER.get(params).doStuff();
 * </code>
 * @param <E> The type of the class to hold as a singleton.
 * @param <I> A parameter object to use during creation of the singleton object.
