//! A mostly lock-free multi-producer, single consumer queue for sending
//! messages between asynchronous tasks.
//!
//! The queue implementation is essentially the same one used for mpsc channels
//! in the standard library.
//!
//! Note that the current implementation of this queue has a caveat of the `pop`
//! method, and see the method for more information about it. Due to this
//! caveat, this queue may not be appropriate for all use-cases.
