+    # The inherited dict maps keys to values.
+    # The internal self.__map dictionary maps keys to links in a doubly linked list.
+    # The doubly linked list starts and ends with a sentinel element.
+    # The sentinel element never gets deleted.  It simplifies the algorithm.
+    # Setting a new item cause a new link to append to the doubly linked list.
+    # Deleting an item uses self.__map to find the link, which is then removed.
+    # Iteration follows the linked list in order.
+    # Reverse iteration follows the links backwards.
+    # The inherited dict provides __getitem__, __len__, __contains__, and get.
+    # The remaining methods are order-aware.
+    # Big-Oh running times for all methods is the same as for regular dictionaries.
