 *
 *   Non-templatized classes and class template specializations for
 *   implementing function objects that are used in  various places
 *   in ACE.  There are currently two major categories of function
 *   objects in ACE: GoF Command Pattern objects, and STL-style
 *   functors for comparison of container elements.  The command objects
 *   are invoked via an execute () method, while the STL-style functors are
 *   invoked via an operator() () method.
 *  Non-templatized classes for implementing the GoF Command Pattern,
 *  also known as functors or function objects.
