// A smart pointer class that implements a double-ended pointer. Each end
// points to the other end. The copy constructor and operator= have MOVE
// semantics, meaning that the relationship with the other end moves to the
// destination of the copy, leaving the source unattached.
// For this reason both the copy constructor and the operator= take a non-const
// reference argument, and the const reference versions cannot be used.
// DoublePtr is useful to incorporate into structures that are part of a
// collection such as GenericVector or STL containers, where reallocs can
// relocate the members. DoublePtr is also useful in a GenericHeap, where it
// can correctly maintain the pointer to an element of the heap despite it
// getting moved around on the heap.
