No question - there's lots of ways to do a FIFO list. I was merely
interested in how well Alex's version would perform compared to the naive
method of just using a list. And then of course I buggered up the test (in
two different ways!) and felt it important to acknowledge this and correct
any misconceptions that the dict method was inefficient which were formed
based on my erroneous test.
