Description:

The PriorityQueue class allows you to make threads communicate, as the Queue class does. But with this one, you specify at creation time the classes of the objects you'll push and pop in this queue, and in which order they'll be popped.
For example, you want thread A send thread B NormalMessages and UrgentMessages. Create your queue as this :
q = PriorityQueue::new('UrgentMessage', 'NormalMessage')
Push your objects as usually, but when you'll pop them, all the UrgentMessages will be shifted before the NormalMessages ones.
