Transient just means the value of .front changes when you call .popFront(), so
you cannot simply assign .front to a variable and expect it to retain its value
after you popFront(). Non-transient just means that you can assign .front to a
variable and rest assured that popFront() will not mutate its value from under
you.

I'm not sure we want to put this on the website just yet -- it *is* a term that
we coined for the sake of distinguishing between, say, the current byLine(),
which reuses the .front buffer, and the proposed change where it calls .dup on
every line returned.
