I think that in order not to impact the performance of the lock free queue
we cannot keep an updated record of the queue length around. Another queue
function could be implemented to count the length of queue when needed. An
O(n) operation. Nothing planned as of yet and probably not for R15B, but I
mentioned this to Richard Green so he will keep it in mind.
