Pointers or copies?

It should.  I was just trying to be nice and not go promoting it all over the place like I 
usually do.  :)  Also, as he said he is new to the language, I wasn't sure how he might 
feel about pseudo-members.

Using Cashew, a Queue of type 'objct' as an array would look like:

# import cashew .utils .array ;
#
# objct[] queue ;

To add to the queue:
# queue ~= target;

To add multiple items:
# queue.push(target1, target2, target3... targetN);

To remove from the queue:
# queue.remove(target);


The only issue is if he wants the queue to be an exclusive set, in which case adding to 
the queue becomes:
# queue ~= target; queue.unique();

Or he could write a 'qpush' like so:
# void qpush (T) (inout T[] haystack, T[] bale ...) {
#   haystack.push(bale);
#   haystack.unique();
# }
