/**
*  @brief
*    Queue (FIFO -> First In First Out) template
*
*  @remarks
*  @verbatim
*    Simple extendable queue using a linked list.
*    The queue will hold copies of the type used in the queue,
*    so note that your classes should supply a copy (=) operator!
*
*    Usage example:
*    Queue<MyClass> cQueue;  // Create queue
*    MyClass T, T1, T2, T3;  // Test class instances
*    cQueue.Push(T1);        // Push a copy of T1 onto the queue
*    cQueue.Push(T2);        // Push a copy of T2 onto the queue
*    cQueue.Push(T3);        // Push a copy of T3 onto the queue
*    cQueue.Pop(&T);         // Pop last element (T1)
*    cQueue.Pop(&T);         // Pop last element (T2)
*    cQueue.Pop(&T);         // Pop last element (T3)
*  @endverbatim
