    Queues provides a simple implementation of a queue, where
    elements are enterred at one end and removed at the other.
    Access protocol is somewhat like a streams protocol, i.e. access
    is by #nextPut: and #next.
    The queue is created with a size argument, defining how many elements
    are to be stored. It will report an error if the queue ever becomes full
    and another element is to be added. Likewise, it will report an error
    if its empty and an element is to be removed.

    It is not safe when two processes access Queues simultanously,
    since accesses to the internals are not protected against process-switches.

    See SharedQueue for a class which is safe with processes and blocks
    on write when full or on read when empty.
