I could not find the first reference. Looking at the second, it seems to
implement the same idea as Raoul Gough's presented. And of course, I'll ask
the same question: if I have code like

        if (!proxy->empty()) {
            int value = proxy->front();
            //....
        }

what prevents other thread from extracting all elements between the two
calls?
