 From the brief look it seems like the closest component from the Vista 
library is circular_view, but it operates similarly to circular_buffer 
(not std::queue) on a fixed sized external buffer. Though it would be 
useful to have, it is not an equivalent of the ring queues I proposed. 
The two could complement each other.
