;;;; Queues
;;; Following Taylor Campbell's suggestion, the elements in a queue
;;; are stored in an ordinary list, with a dummy pair at the beginning
;;; of the list. The queue record maintains pointers to both the
;;; dummy pair (in the HEAD field) and the last pair in the list (in
;;; the TAIL field).
;;;
;;; With this representation, the only fields that queue operations
;;; need to mutate are cdrs of pairs and the TAIL field of the queue
;;; record, and the TAIL field needs to be set if and only if a pair's
;;; cdr is set to '(). This allows all queue mutations to be
;;; performed by two procedures, SPLICE-IN-QUEUE-LIST! and
;;; SPLICE-OUT-OF-QUEUE!, which are simple, easy to use correctly,
;;; and, when used correctly, maintain the queue's invariant (that the
;;; TAIL field points to the last pair in the queue's list).
;;;
;;; The procedures exported from this module never give away pointers
;;; to the pairs in a queue's list, and never attach pairs provided by
;;; other code to a queue's list. Once pairs are in a queue's list,
;;; their CARs are never modified, so there is no need to use
;;; PROVISIONAL-CAR. However, pairs' CDRs are (necessarily) modified
;;; by ENQUEUE! and other queue operations, so all accesses to and
;;; modifications of CDRs must be provisional.
