 * like the {ACE_Unbounded_Queue} except that it allows removing
 * of a specific element from a specific location.
 * Notice that this class is an implementation of a very simple
 * data structure. This is *NOT* a container class.  You can use the
 * class to implement other contains classes but it is *NOT* a
 * general purpose container class.
 * The parameter class *MUST* have members T* prev and T* next
 * and users of this class are responsible to follow the general
 * rules of using double-linked lists to maintaining the list
 * integrity.
 * If you need a double linked container class, use the DLList
 * class which is a container but delegates to the Double_Linked_List
 * class.

 * object which satisfies the next/prev pointer requirements imposed by
 * ACE_Double_Linked_List.
 *
 * Each item inserted to an ACE_DLList is a pointer to a T object. The

 * deleted on removal from the ACE_DLList.
