+//! A mostly lock-free multi-producer, single consumer queue.
+//!
+//! This module contains an implementation of a concurrent MPSC queue. This
+//! queue can be used to share data between threads, and is also used as the
+//! building block of channels in rust.
+//!
+//! Note that the current implementation of this queue has a caveat of the `pop`
+//! method, and see the method for more information about it. Due to this
+//! caveat, this queue might not be appropriate for all use-cases.
