/**
 * @class ACE_Vector
 *
 * @brief Defines an STL-like vector container.
 *
 * This is an STL-like template vector container, a wrapper around
 * ACE_Array.  It provides at least the basic std::vector look and
 * feel: push_back(), clear(), resize(), capacity().  This template
 * class uses the copy semantic paradigm, though it is okay to use
 * reference counted smart pointers (see ACE_Ptr&lt;T&gt;) with this
 * template class.
 *
 * <b> Requirements and Performance Characteristics</b>
 *   - Internal Structure
 *       ACE_Array
 *   - Duplicates allowed?
 *       Yes
 *   - Random access allowed?
 *       No
 *   - Search speed
 *       N/A
 *   - Insert/replace speed
 *       Linear
 *   - Iterator still valid after change to container?
 *       Yes
 *   - Frees memory for removed elements?
 *       No
 *   - Items inserted by
 *       Value
 *   - Requirements for contained type
 *       -# Default constructor
 *       -# Copy constructor
 *       -# operator=
