The cache of Type instances is currently a static Object, which emans that
every Type instance ever created will stay in memory for the entire
lifespan of an application.
Changing the cache into a Dictionary object with weak keys can negate this
problem.
I've attached a patch for the Type class that does this, it also adds a new
static method called resetCache(), calling this recreates the cache
dicitonary, optionally you can specify the weakKeys parameter which will e
passed on to the Dictionary constructor.
The Dictionary is created with weak keys by default.
