/**
 * A {@link Deque} that additionally supports blocking operations that wait
 * for the deque to become non-empty when retrieving an element, and wait for
 * space to become available in the deque when storing an element.
 *
 * <p>{@code BlockingDeque} methods come in four forms, with different ways
 * of handling operations that cannot be satisfied immediately, but may be
 * satisfied at some point in the future:
 * one throws an exception, the second returns a special value (either
 * {@code null} or {@code false}, depending on the operation), the third
 * blocks the current thread indefinitely until the operation can succeed,
 * and the fourth blocks for only a given maximum time limit before giving
 * up.  These methods are summarized in the following table:
