They're great for keeping track of bits and pieces for a given request,
but can lead to GC problems if used for data with a longer lifetime.
Keeping servlet- or application-scope information as ThreadLocal makes
it impossible to release such classes if the application is redeployed.
Judicious use of the remove() method is a necessity.
