// This class is a fixed-size queue. A producer calls Insert() to insert
// an element of type T at the back of the queue, and a consumer calls
// Remove() to remove an element from the front of the queue. It's safe
// for the producer(s) and the consumer(s) to access the queue
// concurrently, from different threads.
//
// To avoid the construction, copying, and destruction of Ts that a naive
// queue implementation would require, for each "full" T passed from
// producer to consumer, SwapQueue<T> passes an "empty" T in the other
// direction (an "empty" T is one that contains nothing of value for the
// consumer). This bidirectional movement is implemented with swap().
//
// // Create queue:
// Bottle proto(568);  // Prepare an empty Bottle. Heap allocates space for
//                     // 568 ml.
// SwapQueue<Bottle> q(N, proto);  // Init queue with N copies of proto.
//                                 // Each copy allocates on the heap.
// // Producer pseudo-code:
// Bottle b(568); // Prepare an empty Bottle. Heap allocates space for 568 ml.
// loop {
//   b.Fill(amount);  // Where amount <= 568 ml.
//   q.Insert(&b);    // Swap our full Bottle for an empty one from q.
// }
//
// // Consumer pseudo-code:
// Bottle b(568);  // Prepare an empty Bottle. Heap allocates space for 568 ml.
// loop {
//   q.Remove(&b); // Swap our empty Bottle for the next-in-line full Bottle.
//   Drink(&b);
// }
//
// For a well-behaved Bottle class, there are no allocations in the
// producer, since it just fills an empty Bottle that's already large
// enough; no deallocations in the consumer, since it returns each empty
// Bottle to the queue after having drunk it; and no copies along the
// way, since the queue uses swap() everywhere to move full Bottles in
// one direction and empty ones in the other.
