/**
 * A Deque is a sequential container that is optimized for fast indexed-based access
 * and efficient insertion at either of its extremities.
 * <p>
 * Deques are useful in circumstances where order, compact storage, and fast insertion at
 * extremeties is important. A Deque is ideal for implementing any kind of FIFO structure.
 * If a strict FIFO structure is required that does not allow index-based access, then
 * you should consider using a Queue adaptor with a Deque as the underlying container.
 * If you require very fast insertion near the middle of a sequential structure, then
 * consider using a List instead of a Deque.
 * <p>
 * The implementation allocates storage for a Deque's elements in 4K blocks
 * (a usual page size) of contiguous memory, and use an array to keep track of a deque's
 * blocks. When a Deque is constructed, it has no associated storage. As elements are
 * added, blocks of storage are added to the beginning or the end of the deque as
 * necessary. A result of this architecture is that items may be inserted very
 * efficiently near either extremity. Once a block has been allocated to a Deque, it is
 * not deallocated until the Deque is destroyed. Insertions are careful to expand the
 * Deque in the direction that involves the least amount of copying. Removals take
 * similar precautions.
 * <p>
 * If an insertion causes reallocation, all iterators and references are invalidated;
 * otherwise, iterators and references are only invalidated if an item is not inserted
 * at an extremity. In the worst cast, inserting a single element into a Deque takes
 * linear time in the minimum of the distance from the insertion point to the beginning
 * of the Deque and the distance from the insertion point to the end of the Deque.
 * Inserting a single element either at the beginning or end of a Deque always takes
 * constant time.
 * <p>
 * If the first or last item is removed, all iterators and references remain valid; if any
 * other item is removed, all iterators and references are invalidated.
 * <p>
