This probably applies to many data structures that have specific (and rare) applications. A priority queue that takes a custom comparator seems like a pretty frequent (algorithmic) use case to me, however (and so does a limited capacity queue). As an example, you can see the implementation of such a PQ in Apache Lucene -- it is used all over the place [1].
