## Crate

The v0.0.1 crates.io library is very preliminary, and mostly a placeholder.
For now, it depends on unstable Rust for `portable-simd`, and requires AVX2 instructions.
By default, it only supports queues of `u32` values.
Enable the `u64` feature to store `u64` values instead.
Making this into a generic API and supporting more types is future work.
Please submit an issue if your specific type is not supported.
