//! VecDeque is a double-ended queue, which is implemented with the help of a
//! growing ring buffer.
//!
//! This queue has `O(1)` amortized inserts and removals from both ends of the
//! container. It also has `O(1)` indexing like a vector. The contained elements
//! are not required to be copyable, and the queue will be sendable if the
//! contained type is sendable.
