Am I missing something or is a fixed capacity deque some kind of oxymoron? 
The issue is that the only difference between a vector and a deque is in
the way that memory management is conducted, so if there isn't any memory
management then what's the point?  A fixed cyclic buffer however would be a
good idea.  Or have I got this backwards?
