There does not appear to be any mechanism to shutdown an application which
uses the blocking interface.

Options that occur to me are :
        1) destructor releases threads blocking on push / pop with :
                a) exception
                b) bool return
        2) timeout parameter and bool return
I think I would go for 1a
