Interface SingletonStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:
  PerThreadSingleton, SimpleSingleton

public interface SingletonStrategy

`SingletonStrategy` is an interface used to provide common factory access for the same object based on an implementation strategy for singleton. Right now there are two that accompany this interface: SimpleSingleton and PerThreadSingleton. This will replace previous usage of ThreadLocal to allow for alternate strategies.
