            POINTERS AND REFERENCES TO INTERNAL DATA
                swap(), size(), front(), back(), and operator[] functions do 
                not invalidate pointers or references to internal data.
                All other functions have no such guarantee.

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This object is a circular buffer of objects of type T.  This means 
                that when objects are pushed onto one of its ends it does not grow 
                in size.  Instead, it shifts all elements over one to make room for 
                the new element and the element at the opposing end falls off the 
                buffer and is lost.
