12     * A {@link Deque} that additionally supports blocking operations that wait
13     * for the deque to become non-empty when retrieving an element, and wait for
14     * space to become available in the deque when storing an element.
15     *
16 jsr166 1.2 * <p>{@code BlockingDeque} methods come in four forms, with different ways
17 dl 1.1 * of handling operations that cannot be satisfied immediately, but may be
18     * satisfied at some point in the future:
19     * one throws an exception, the second returns a special value (either
20 jsr166 1.2 * {@code null} or {@code false}, depending on the operation), the third
21 dl 1.1 * blocks the current thread indefinitely until the operation can succeed,
22     * and the fourth blocks for only a given maximum time limit before giving
23     * up. These methods are summarized in the following table:
