/**
 * @class TAO_Continuous_Priority_Mapping
 *
 * @brief Maps the first n CORBA priorities to the range of native
 * priorities, where n is the number of native priorities.
 *
 * The lowest native priority is mapped to CORBA priority 0, next
 * higher native priority is mapped to CORBA priority 1, and so
 * on. Since in all the operating systems where TAO is supported the
 * native priority set contains less than 32767 priorities, part of
 * the CORBA priority range is left unused.  Consider NT as an
 * example. NT native priorities -15 -2 -1 0 1 2 15 are mapped to
 * CORBA priorities 0 1 2 3 4 5 6, respectively, and the rest of the
 * CORBA priority range is not used.
 *
 * This class was previously called Direct_Priority_Mapping.
