/** The MessageQueue class represents a queue abstraction and is used by
    modules to exchange messages. Methods are provided for enqueuing,
    dequeuing, removing, iterating messages. Some methods are virtual and
    may be overriden but subclasses to modify the behavior.

    <h1>A Word about Queue Ids</h1>

    You may pass a specific queue id to the MessageQueue() constructor. The
    default is to call MessageQueue::getNextQueueId() to obtain one. Only pass
    queue ids generated by calling MessageQueue::getNextQueueId() to this
    constructor. Otherwise, you might end up with two queues with the same
    queue id.

    A technique we encourage, is to declare global queue ids like this:

    <pre>
    extern const Uint32 GROCERY_QUEUE_ID;
    </pre>

    And then define them like this:

    <pre>
    const Uint32 GROCERY_QUEUE_ID = MessageQueue::getNextQueueId();
    </pre>

    And then pass them to the constructor of MessageQueue (from the derived
    class). In this way you will secure a unique constant identifier by which
    you may refer to a queue later on.

    <h1>A Word about using the find() Methods</h1>

    There are two find() methods. One that takes a queue id and one that
    takes a name. The time complexity of the former is O(1); whereas, the
    time complexity of the latter is O(n). Therefore, use the queue id form
    since it is more efficient.
