/** A distributed queue adaptor.
 *
 * Class template @c distributed_queue implements a distributed queue
 * across a process group. The distributed queue is an adaptor over an
 * existing (local) queue, which must model the @ref Buffer
 * concept. Each process stores a distinct copy of the local queue,
 * from which it draws or removes elements via the @ref pop and @ref
 * top members.
 *
 * The value type of the local queue must be a model of the @ref
 * GlobalDescriptor concept. The @ref push operation of the
 * distributed queue passes (via a message) the value to its owning
 * processor. Thus, the elements within a particular local queue are
 * guaranteed to have the process owning that local queue as an owner.
 *
 * Synchronization of distributed queues occurs in the @ref empty and
 * @ref size functions, which will only return "empty" values (true or
 * 0, respectively) when the entire distributed queue is empty. If the
 * local queue is empty but the distributed queue is not, the
 * operation will block until either condition changes. When the @ref
 * size function of a nonempty queue returns, it returns the size of
 * the local queue. These semantics were selected so that sequential
 * code that processes elements in the queue via the following idiom
 * can be parallelized via introduction of a distributed queue:
 *
 *   distributed_queue<...> Q;
 *   Q.push(x);
 *   while (!Q.empty()) {
 *     // do something, that may push a value onto Q
 *   }
 *
 * In the parallel version, the initial @ref push operation will place
 * the value @c x onto its owner's queue. All processes will
 * synchronize at the call to empty, and only the process owning @c x
 * will be allowed to execute the loop (@ref Q.empty() returns
 * false). This iteration may in turn push values onto other remote
 * queues, so when that process finishes execution of the loop body
 * and all processes synchronize again in @ref empty, more processes
 * may have nonempty local queues to execute. Once all local queues
 * are empty, @ref Q.empty() returns @c false for all processes.
 *
 * The distributed queue can receive messages at two different times:
 * during synchronization and when polling @ref empty. Messages are
 * always received during synchronization, to ensure that accurate
 * local queue sizes can be determines. However, whether @ref empty
 * should poll for messages is specified as an option to the
 * constructor. Polling may be desired when the order in which
 * elements in the queue are processed is not important, because it
 * permits fewer synchronization steps and less communication
 * overhead. However, when more strict ordering guarantees are
 * required, polling may be semantically incorrect. By disabling
 * polling, one ensures that parallel execution using the idiom above
 * will not process an element at a later "level" before an earlier
 * "level".
 *
 * The distributed queue nearly models the @ref Buffer
 * concept. However, the @ref push routine does not necessarily
 * increase the result of @c size() by one (although the size of the
 * global queue does increase by one).
