-/**
- * A collection designed for holding elements prior to processing.
- * Besides basic {@link java.util.Collection Collection} operations,
- * queues provide additional insertion, extraction, and inspection
- * operations. Each of these methods exists in two forms: one throws
- * an exception if the operation fails, the other returns a special
- * value (either <tt>null</tt> or <tt>false</tt>, depending on the
- * operation). The latter form of the insert operation is designed
- * specifically for use with capacity-restricted <tt>Queue</tt>
- * implementations; in most implementations, insert operations cannot
- * fail.

- * <p>Queues typically, but do not necessarily, order elements in a
- * FIFO (first-in-first-out) manner. Among the exceptions are
- * priority queues, which order elements according to a supplied
- * comparator, or the elements' natural ordering, and LIFO queues (or
- * stacks) which order the elements LIFO (last-in-first-out).
- * Whatever the ordering used, the <em>head</em> of the queue is that
- * element which would be removed by a call to {@link #remove() } or
- * {@link #poll()}. In a FIFO queue, all new elements are inserted at
- * the <em> tail</em> of the queue. Other kinds of queues may use
- * different placement rules. Every <tt>Queue</tt> implementation
- * must specify its ordering properties.
- *
- * <p>The {@link #offer offer} method inserts an element if possible,
- * otherwise returning <tt>false</tt>. This differs from the {@link
- * java.util.Collection#add Collection.add} method, which can fail to
- * add an element only by throwing an unchecked exception. The
- * <tt>offer</tt> method is designed for use when failure is a normal,
- * rather than exceptional occurrence, for example, in fixed-capacity
- * (or &quot;bounded&quot;) queues.
- *
- * <p>The {@link #remove()} and {@link #poll()} methods remove and
- * return the head of the queue.
- * Exactly which element is removed from the queue is a
- * function of the queue's ordering policy, which differs from
- * implementation to implementation. The <tt>remove()</tt> and
- * <tt>poll()</tt> methods differ only in their behavior when the
- * queue is empty: the <tt>remove()</tt> method throws an exception,
- * while the <tt>poll()</tt> method returns <tt>null</tt>.
- *
- * <p>The {@link #element()} and {@link #peek()} methods return, but do
- * not remove, the head of the queue.
- *
- * <p>The <tt>Queue</tt> interface does not define the <i>blocking queue
- * methods</i>, which are common in concurrent programming. These methods,
- * which wait for elements to appear or for space to become available, are
- * defined in the {@link edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue} interface, which
- * extends this interface.
- *
- * <p><tt>Queue</tt> implementations generally do not allow insertion
- * of <tt>null</tt> elements, although some implementations, such as
- * {@link LinkedList}, do not prohibit insertion of <tt>null</tt>.
- * Even in the implementations that permit it, <tt>null</tt> should
- * not be inserted into a <tt>Queue</tt>, as <tt>null</tt> is also
- * used as a special return value by the <tt>poll</tt> method to
- * indicate that the queue contains no elements.
- *
- * <p><tt>Queue</tt> implementations generally do not define
- * element-based versions of methods <tt>equals</tt> and
- * <tt>hashCode</tt> but instead inherit the identity based versions
- * from class <tt>Object</tt>, because element-based equality is not
- * always well-defined for queues with the same elements but different
- * ordering properties.
