/** @brief Multiple-Producer Single-Consumer Queue
* A wait-free (*) multiple-producer single-consumer queue.
*
* features:
* - wait-free
* - fast producers (only one atomic XCHG and and one atomic store with
* release semantics)
* - extremely fast consumer (only atomic loads with acquire semantics on
* the fast path and atomic loads + atomic XCHG on the slow path)
* - no need for order reversion -> pop() is always O(1)
* - ABA free
*
* great for using in loggers, garbage collectors etc.
*
* (*) there is a small window of inconsistency from the lock free design
* see the url below for details
* URL:
* http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/queues/intrusive-mpsc-node-based-queue
*
* mine is not intrusive for better modularity, but with slightly worse
* performance because it needs to do two memory allocations instead of
* one
*
* @tparam T Type of the items to store in the queue
