| The ODMG List collection.
A DList collection is an ordered collection that provides
efficient insertion and removal of elements at arbitrary positions in the
list, but it also supports indexed access. The beginning index value is 0.
When an element is added at a given position in the list, the index of all
subsequent elements is increased by 1. Similarly, when an element is removed
from the list, the index of all subsequent elements is decreased by 1.
All of the operations defined by the JavaSoft List
interface are supported by an ODMG implementation of DList,
the exception UnsupportedOperationException is not thrown when a
call is made to any of the List methods.
