&reftitle.intro;
<para>
A Deque (pronounced “deck”) is a sequence of values
in a contiguous buffer that grows and shrinks automatically.
The name is a common abbreviation of “double-ended queue” and is used
internally by <classname>Ds\Queue</classname>.
</para>
<para>
Two pointers are used to keep track of a head and a tail. The pointers can
“wrap around” the end of the buffer, which avoids the need to move other
values around to make room. This makes shift and unshift very fast —
something a <classname>Ds\Vector</classname> can’t compete with.
</para>
<para>
Accessing a value by index requires a translation between the index and its
corresponding position in the buffer: <code>((head + position) % capacity)</code>.
