ones. This is primarily a fun exercise, I cannot recommend that anyone
actually use this in a real project.
Additionally, the root `priorityq` package implements a concurrent priority
queue, using a binary max-heap. This is more general than `mq`, because it
allows multiple levels of priority, instead of just "high" and "low". This, of
course, also makes operations slower.

// Package priorityq provides generic implementations of various concurrent,
// prioritized queues.
//
// # Behavior
//
// All types of queues in this module act similarly to buffered Go channels.
//
// - They are bounded to a fixed capacity, set at construction.
// - Closing and sending to an already-closed queue causes a panic.
// - Receivers can continue getting items after closure, and can use a final
// bool to determine when there are none remaining.
// - They are safe for multiple concurrent senders and receivers.
//
// # Implementation
//
// All data structures in this module use [generics], introduced in Go 1.18.
//
// All of the concurrent data structures in this package use a [sync.Mutex]
// and a few [sync.Cond] variables.
