%%% Purpose : A priority queue.
%%%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%%% This module implements a priority queue as defined in
%%% "Priority Queues and the STL" by Mark Nelson in Dr.Dobb's Journal, Jan 1996
%%% see http://web2.airmail.net/markn/articles/pq_stl/priority.htm for more
%%% information. (A heap implementation is planned aswell)
%%%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%%% The items of the queue is kept priority sorted, and because of that,
%%% a push() operation costs more than a pop() operation (wich only
%%% needs to return the top item of the queue(read: list)).
%%%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%%% The priority queue can be deceptively nice to use when creating for
%%% example a Huffman coding tree.
%%% See http://web2.airmail.net/markn/articles/pq_stl/priority.htm or
%%% Dr.Dobb's Journal Jan, 96 for more information on this.

%%% Used here strictly as something for dbg_SUITE to run.
