You could probably do what you want with std.concurrency, since most of what
it does is deal with sending and receiving data across threads, and that
should be queuing up messages as part of what it does. But if you're looking
for a data structure that you can mark as shared and have it handle all of
the locking for you so that it will work safely across threads, then no, the
standard library does not currently have anything like that. It's rather
lacking in containers in general at this point, let alone ones designed with
concurrency in mind. There may be something on code.dlang.org, but I don't
know. Regardless, I'd suggest that you first try and see if you can get
std.concurrency to work for your use case rather than jumping into
implementing any containers yourself.
