 * contents, with a few limits.
 *
 * For one thing, the value is assumed to be both key and value, so

 * neither insertion nor deletion operations specify a specific
 * object or position, instead just a "add/remove one of these" rule.

 * and regardles of changes to the contents.

 * This class implements a queue (out-order not specified) that allows an
 * ObservableQueue object to be object to be used as a queue without making
 * by another object in a safe manner. Changes to the contents of the original
 * queue are propagated to this queue, such that it will never contain values
 * not found in the original queue and such that it will add new values added
 * to the original queue.
 *
 * This allows the contents to be accessed safely, when for instance it is
 * needed to iterate over the contents over a period of time, where one
 * cannot be certain of the current state of the actual contents of the
 * original lists.
 *
 * This class supersedes such broken solutions such as remembering the last
 * used position in the original list, since no changes made to the original
 * list will result in items being skipped or treated twice*.
 *
 * * With the exception of the same item being removed and then re-added, in
 *   which case the CQueueObserver class will consider it a new item.
