  // = DESCRIPTION
  //     This class is typically used in conjunction with the
  //     <ACE_Lock_Adapter> in order to provide a polymorphic
  //     interface to the ACE synchronization mechanisms (e.g.,
  //     <ACE_Mutex>, <ACE_Semaphore>, <ACE_RW_Mutex>, etc).  Note that
  //     the reason that all of ACE doesn't use polymorphic locks is
  //     that (1) they add ~20% extra overhead for virtual function
  //     calls and (2) objects with virtual functions can't be placed
  //     into shared memory.
