/**
  A general class for representing one degree of freedom (DOF) that is
  a double.  the class holds min/max range for the DOF, as well as the
  step size for passing the DOFs values around. It relies on a
  DOFValues class that only holds DOF value for each DOF

  @note Typically, a DOF would correspond to one joint, with the exception
  of transformation joint that has 6 DOFs (though collective joints
  such as normal modes might be supported in principle)
