6/**
7 * A RingList or Ring Buffer implementation. This is a list that never grows in
8 * size once it is created, but instead once it is full new items added to the
9 * RingList replace the oldest items and the zero-index is virtually shifted.
10 * Since no data is actually moved when zero-index moves, this is very
11 * efficient.
12 * <br>
13 * The items removed are not actually deleted by the RingList, so instead they
14 * are first moved into a temporary "Push Buffer" that can be accessed so that
15 * elements pushed off the edge of the RingList can be accessed for cleanup.
