    SharedQueues provide a safe mechanism for processes to communicate.

    They are basically Queues, with added secure access to the internals,

    allowing use from multiple processes (i.e. the access methods use

    critical regions to protect against confusion due to a process

    switch within a modification).

    Also, sharedQueues can be used for synchronization, since a reading

    process will be blocked when attempting to read an empty queue, while

    a writer will be blocked when attempting to write into a full queue.

    For nonBlocking read, use #isEmpty; for nonBlocking write, use #isFull.

    See samples in doc/coding.
