/**
 * An optionally-bounded {@linkplain BlockingDeque blocking deque} based on
 * linked nodes.
 *
 * <p> The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a
 * way to prevent excessive expansion. The capacity, if unspecified,
 * is equal to {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE}.  Linked nodes are
 * dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the
 * deque above capacity.
 *
 * <p>Most operations run in constant time (ignoring time spent
 * blocking).  Exceptions include {@link #remove(Object) remove},
 * {@link #removeFirstOccurrence removeFirstOccurrence}, {@link
 * #removeLastOccurrence removeLastOccurrence}, {@link #contains
 * contains}, {@link #iterator iterator.remove()}, and the bulk
 * operations, all of which run in linear time.
 *
 * <p>This class and its iterator implement all of the
 * <em>optional</em> methods of the {@link Collection} and {@link
 * Iterator} interfaces.
 *
 * <p>This class is a member of the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html">

     * Implemented as a simple doubly-linked list protected by a
     * single lock and using conditions to manage blocking.
     *
     * To implement weakly consistent iterators, it appears we need to
     * keep all Nodes GC-reachable from a predecessor dequeued Node.
     * That would cause two problems:
     * - allow a rogue Iterator to cause unbounded memory retention
     * - cause cross-generational linking of old Nodes to new Nodes if
     *   a Node was tenured while live, which generational GCs have a
     *   hard time dealing with, causing repeated major collections.
     * However, only non-deleted Nodes need to be reachable from
     * dequeued Nodes, and reachability does not necessarily have to
     * be of the kind understood by the GC.  We use the trick of
     * linking a Node that has just been dequeued to itself.  Such a
     * self-link implicitly means to jump to "first" (for next links)
     * or "last" (for prev links).
