/**
 * @class ACE_Lock_Adapter
 *
 * @brief This is an adapter that allows applications to transparently
 * combine the <ACE_Lock> abstract base class (which contains
 * pure virtual methods) with any of the other concrete ACE
 * synchronization classes (e.g., <ACE_Mutex>, <ACE_Semaphore>,
 * <ACE_RW_Mutex>, etc.).
 *
 * This class uses a form of the Adapter pattern.
