/**
* A {@link BlockingQueue} in which producers may wait for consumers
* to receive elements. A {@code TransferQueue} may be useful for
* example in message passing applications in which producers
* sometimes (using method {@link #transfer}) await receipt of
* elements by consumers invoking {@code take} or {@code poll}, while
* at other times enqueue elements (via method {@code put}) without
* waiting for receipt.
* {@linkplain #tryTransfer(Object) Non-blocking} and
* {@linkplain #tryTransfer(Object,long,TimeUnit) time-out} versions of
* {@code tryTransfer} are also available.
* A {@code TransferQueue} may also be queried, via {@link
* #hasWaitingConsumer}, whether there are any threads waiting for
* items, which is a converse analogy to a {@code peek} operation.
*
* <p>Like other blocking queues, a {@code TransferQueue} may be
* capacity bounded. If so, an attempted transfer operation may
* initially block waiting for available space, and/or subsequently
* block waiting for reception by a consumer. Note that in a queue
* with zero capacity, such as {@link SynchronousQueue}, {@code put}
* and {@code transfer} are effectively synonymous.
*
