  Insert (link) a user structure into the collection, allocating a new

  Read-write operation.

  @param[in,out] Collection  The collection to insert UserStruct into.

  @param[out]    Entry       The meaning of this optional, output-only
                             parameter depends on the return value of the
                             function.

                             When insertion is successful (RETURN_SUCCESS),
                             Entry is set on output to the new collection entry
                             that now links UserStruct.

                             When insertion fails due to lack of memory
                             (RETURN_OUT_OF_RESOURCES), Entry is not changed.

                             When insertion fails due to key collision (ie.
                             another user structure is already in the
                             collection that compares equal to UserStruct),
                             with return value RETURN_ALREADY_STARTED, then
                             Entry is set on output to the entry that links the
                             colliding user structure. This enables
                             "find-or-insert" in one function call, or helps
                             with later removal of the colliding element.

  @param[in]     UserStruct  The user structure to link into the collection.
                             UserStruct is ordered against in-collection user
                             structures with the
                             ORDERED_COLLECTION_USER_COMPARE function.

  @retval RETURN_SUCCESS           Insertion successful. A new collection entry
                                   has been allocated, linking UserStruct. The
                                   new collection entry is reported back in
                                   Entry (if the caller requested it).

                                   Existing ORDERED_COLLECTION_ENTRY pointers
                                   into Collection remain valid. For example,
                                   on-going iterations in the caller can
                                   continue with OrderedCollectionNext() /
                                   OrderedCollectionPrev(), and they will
                                   return the new entry at some point if user
                                   structure order dictates it.

  @retval RETURN_OUT_OF_RESOURCES  The function failed to allocate memory for
                                   the new collection entry. The collection has
                                   not been changed. Existing
                                   ORDERED_COLLECTION_ENTRY pointers into
                                   Collection remain valid.

  @retval RETURN_ALREADY_STARTED   A user structure has been found in the
                                   collection that compares equal to
                                   UserStruct. The entry linking the colliding
                                   user structure is reported back in Entry (if
                                   the caller requested it). The collection has
                                   not been changed. Existing
                                   ORDERED_COLLECTION_ENTRY pointers into
                                   Collection remain valid.

  Delete an entry from the collection, unlinking the associated user structure.

                             The caller is responsible for ensuring that Entry
                             belongs to Collection, and that Entry is non-NULL
                             and valid. Entry is typically an earlier return
                             value, or output parameter, of:

                             - OrderedCollectionFind(), for deleting an entry
                               by user structure key,

                               for deleting the minimum / maximum entry,

                             - OrderedCollectionNext() /
                               OrderedCollectionPrev(), for deleting an entry
                               found during an iteration,

                             - OrderedCollectionInsert() with return value
                               RETURN_ALREADY_STARTED, for deleting an entry
                               whose linked user structure caused collision
                               during insertion.

                             Existing ORDERED_COLLECTION_ENTRY pointers (ie.
                             iterators) *different* from Entry remain valid.
                             For example:

                             - OrderedCollectionNext() /
                               OrderedCollectionPrev() iterations in the caller
                               can be continued from Entry, if
                               OrderedCollectionNext() or
                               OrderedCollectionPrev() is called on Entry
                               *before* OrderedCollectionDelete() is. That is,
                               fetch the successor / predecessor entry first,
                               then delete Entry.

                             - On-going iterations in the caller that would
                               have otherwise returned Entry at some point, as
                               dictated by user structure order, will correctly
                               reflect the absence of Entry after
                               OrderedCollectionDelete() is called
                               mid-iteration.

  @param[out]    UserStruct  If the caller provides this optional output-only
                             parameter, then on output it is set to the user
                             structure originally linked by Entry (which is now
                             freed).

                             This is a convenience that may save the caller a
                             OrderedCollectionUserStruct() invocation before
                             calling OrderedCollectionDelete(), in order to
