/// A queue of work items.
///
/// An abstraction for producing items of work. For example, chunks of
/// data in a file. The work items are put into an ordered queue to be
/// worked on by another task. The queue is limited in size so that it
/// doesn't grow impossibly large. This acts as a load-limiting
/// synchronizing mechanism.
///
/// One async task produces work items and puts them into the queue,
/// another consumes them from the queue. If the producer is too fast,
/// the queue fills up, and the producer blocks when putting an item
/// into the queue. If the queue is empty, the consumer blocks until
/// there is something added to the queue.
///
/// The work items need to be abstracted as a type, and that type is
/// given as a type parameter.
