Take a look at:

Pretty efficient FIFO, isn't it?

Its a matter of taste of going with Robertos "no problem in 200 years"
pragmatism, or if you want to add a modulo wrap around to run forever.

Additionally as matter of impression, one can shoot down any idea by
referencing another programming language, cause we want to be differen
:-)

So there i shoot: Javascripts splice,

I like it, simple and powerfull, optional remove and optinal append
and insert all in one convenient call. I'd only argue to remove the
return value for performance.

Kind regards ;-)
