// This implementation uses the general approach used in std::deque
// implementations. See, for example,
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6292332/what-really-is-a-deque-in-stl
//
// It is much simpler because it just needs to support the queue interface.
// The blocks are chained into a circular list, not managed by a "map". It
// does not shrink the internal buffer.
//
// An alternative implementation approach is a resizable circular array. See,
// for example, ResizingArrayQueue.java in https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/code/
// and base::circular_deque in Chromium's base/containers library.
