The "memory shuffling" is a roaring nonsense. There just might be one
application from 10000 which *MIGHT* have such demands that
NSMutableArray-based FIFO would be unuseable there, but even that I doubt.
Not speaking of the fact that NSMutableArray *CAN BE* (and, by some other's
message, actually _IS_) implemented as a ring buffer.
As for thread-safeness, well, add two more lines with locking. Still not
worth an API, by far.
