 %% Keep the last N Log functions
 %%-----------------------------------------------------------------
+%%
+%% Streamlined Okasaki queue as base for "keep the last N" log.
+%%
+%% To the reverse list head we cons new items.
+%% The forward list contains elements in insertion order,
+%% so the head is the oldest and the one to drop off
+%% when the log is full.
+%%
+%% Here is how we can get away with only using one cons cell
+%% to wrap the forward and reverse list, and the log size:
+%%
+%% A full log does not need a counter; we just cons one
+%% and drop one:
+%%
+%%     [ReverseList|ForwardList]
+%%
+%% A non-full log is filling up to N elements;
+%% use a down counter instead of a list as first element:
+%%
+%%     [RemainingToFullCount|ReverseList]
