Yes.
The Foundation data types are distinguished by what they _are_ (ordered
collections, unordered collections, dictionaries, strings, dates, data buffers)
and not how they are _implemented._ Foundation is free to select any of a
number of internal implementations for those generic forms. In fact, it may
_change_ the implementation of your collections behind your back, to preserve
performance as the collections grow.
There's no "doubly-linked list" because you don't really want a doubly-linked
list, you want an ordered collection.
