I forgot to mention the other way: ice-9 q can't be a specific version
of anything else, because its implementation is exposed as its
interface:
A queue is implemented as a cons cell, the `car' containing a list
of queued elements, and the `cdr' being the last cell in that list (for
ease of enqueuing).
(LIST . LAST-CELL)
If the queue is empty, LIST is the empty list and LAST-CELL is `#f'.
An application can directly access the queue list if desired, for
instance to search the elements or to insert at a specific point.
Cheers,
Andy
