Ahhhh - it's all becoming clear now ... Now I understand why it has been referred to as a LIFO type of queue - because element 0 in the output structure is the oldest member of the queue.
However - as Adrian points out - this is not a LIFO - which would be akin to a stack. In a LIFO arrangement, the contents of the queue is left intact after adding one element and removing one. (i.e. a push and a pop) So - here is how I would describe this patch. "This patch implements a FIFO of arbitrary size n, where the output is a structure containing n elements. Element 0 is the oldest, and element n-1 is the element that was most recently added. Perhaps you can put that one on your WIKI page, Sam. Here's a modified version of shadebobs using an iterator to display all elements of the queue. The length of the tail is dependent on frame rate - looks better at 20 fps than 60, imo. Maybe we can figure out a way to make this independent of frame rate(?)
