If I understood Michel's question correctly, then your answer would
be "no". As would mine.

There's the question of need (which, IMO is close to 0) plus the
added complexity of explaining/managing FIFO read order; and don't
forget multiple threads making simultaneous reads - just say NO. :)

Best,
Don
