+ * Ultra lightweight ring buffer, for fast insertion/deletion. This uses inlined functions
+ * for maximum speed. All buffers created with this library must be of the same size, however
+ * multiple independant buffers can be created.
+ *
+ * Note that for each buffer, insertion and removal operations may occur at the same time (via
+ * a multithreaded ISR based system) however the same kind of operation (two or more insertions
+ * or deletions) must not overlap. If there is possibility of two or more of the same kind of
+ * operating occuring at the same point in time, atomic (mutex) locking should be used.
