Ada.Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists has this operation:

    procedure Splice (Target   : in out List;
                      Before   : in     Cursor;
                      Source   : in out List;
                      Position : in out Cursor);

The description (in RM A.18.3(114/2)) says: "... the element designated 
by Position is removed from Source and moved to Target, immediately 
prior to Before, ...".

This seems to do what Dmitry suggested.
