/**
 * \class DListMel
 * \brief Doubly linked list for elements that may appear in multiple lists.
 *
 * This class is similar to DList, except that the user defined list element
 * can inherit from multple DListEl classes and consequently be an element in
 * multiple lists. In other words, DListMel allows a single instance of a data
 * structure to be an element in multiple lists without the lists interfereing
 * with one another.
 *
 * For each list that an element class is to appear in, the element must have
 * unique next and previous pointers that can be unambiguously refered to with
 * some base class name. This name is given to DListMel as a template argument
 * so it can use the correct next and previous pointers in its list
 * operations.
 *
 * DListMel does not assume ownership of elements in the list. If the elements
 * are known to reside on the heap and are not contained in any other list or
 * data structure, the provided empty() routine can be used to delete all
 * elements, however the destructor will not call this routine, it will simply
 * abandon all the elements. It is up to the programmer to explicitly
 * de-allocate items when it is safe to do so.
