! !DESCRIPTION:
!   Add elements to an {\tt ESMF\_Container} object.
!
!   This method defines garbage as those elements in {\tt itemList} that
!   cannot be added to the container because an element with the same name
!   already exists in the container. Garbage can only be generated in relaxed
!   mode.
!
!   The arguments are:
!   \begin{description}
!   \item[container]
!     {\tt ESMF\_Container} object to be added to.
!   \item[itemList]
!     Items to be added.
!   \item [{[multiflag]}]
!     A setting of {\tt .true.} allows multiple items with the same name
!     to be added to {\tt container}. For {\tt .false.}, added items must
!     have unique names. The default setting is {\tt .false.}.
!   \item [{[relaxedflag]}]
!     A setting of {\tt .true.} indicates a relaxed definition of "add"
!     under {\tt multiflag=.false.} mode, where it is {\em not} an error if 
!     {\tt itemList} contains items with names that are also found in 
!     {\tt container}. The {\tt container} is left unchanged for these items. 
!     For {\tt .false.} this is treated as an error condition. 
!     The default setting is {\tt .false.}.
!   \item[{[rc]}]
!     Return code; equals {\tt ESMF\_SUCCESS} if there are no errors.

! !DESCRIPTION:
!   Get items from a {\tt ESMF\_Container} object.
!
!   The arguments are:
!   \begin{description}
!   \item[container]
!     {\tt ESMF\_Container} object to be queried.
!   \item[{[garbageCount]}]
!     Number of objects in {\tt container} garbage.
!   \item[{[garbageList]}]
!     List of objects in {\tt container} garbage. This argument has the pointer
!     attribute. If the argument comes into this call associated the memory 
!     allocation is not changed. Instead the size of the memory allocation is
!     checked against the total number of elements in the container gargbage,
!     and if sufficiently sized the container garbage elements are returned in
!     the provided memory allocation. If the argument comes into this call
!     unassociated, memory will be allocated internally and filled with the
!     container garbage elements. In the latter case the size of the returned
!     {\tt garbageList} will be identical to the number of items in the
!     container garbage - even if that number is zero.
!     In both cases the returned {\tt garbageList} will be associated. It is the
!     responsibility of the caller to deallocate the memory.
!   \item[{[rc]}]
!     Return code; equals {\tt ESMF\_SUCCESS} if there are no errors.
