Implementation of a mutable queue using two lists.

      q2.seq <- q2.seq ++ q1.seq;
    end;
    clear q1

end

module Correct
  use Queue as Q
  clone queue.Queue with
    type t = Q.t, exception Empty = Q.Empty,
    val create = Q.create, val push = Q.push, val pop = Q.pop, val peek = Q.peek,
    val safe_pop = Q.safe_pop, val safe_peek = Q.safe_peek,
    val clear = Q.clear, val copy = Q.copy, val is_empty = Q.is_empty,
    val length = Q.length, val transfer = Q.transfer
end

the module above is a valid implementation of queue.Queue
