[section:buffered_channel Buffered Channel]

__boost_fiber__ provides a bounded, buffered channel (MPMC queue) suitable to
synchonize fibers (running on same or different threads) via asynchronouss
message passing.

    typedef boost::fibers::buffered_channel< int > channel_t;

    void send( channel_t & chan) {
        for ( int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
            chan.push( i);
        }
        chan.close();
    }

    void recv( channel_t & chan) {
        int i;
        while ( boost::fibers::channel_op_status::success == chan.pop(i) ) {
            std::cout << "received " << i << std::endl;
        }
    }

    channel_t chan{ 2 };
    boost::fibers::fiber f1( std::bind( send, std::ref( chan) ) );
    boost::fibers::fiber f2( std::bind( recv, std::ref( chan) ) );

    f1.join();
    f2.join();

Class `buffered_channel` supports range-for syntax:

    typedef boost::fibers::buffered_channel< int > channel_t;

    void foo( channel_t & chan) {
        chan.push( 1);
        chan.push( 1);
        chan.push( 2);
        chan.push( 3);
        chan.push( 5);
        chan.push( 8);
        chan.push( 12);
        chan.close();
    }

    void bar( channel_t & chan) {
        for ( unsigned int value : chan) {
            std::cout << value << " ";
        }
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }

[heading Constructor]

        explicit buffered_channel( std::size_t capacity);

[variablelist
[[Preconditions:] [`2<=capacity && 0==(capacity & (capacity-1))`]]
[[Effects:] [The constructor constructs an object of class `buffered_channel`
with an internal buffer of size `capacity`.]]
[[Throws:] [`fiber_error`]]
[[Error Conditions:] [
[*invalid_argument]: if `0==capacity || 0!=(capacity & (capacity-1))`.]]
[[Notes:] [A `push()`, `push_wait_for()` or `push_wait_until()` will not block
until the number of values in the channel becomes equal to `capacity`.
The channel can hold only `capacity - 1` elements, otherwise it is
considered to be full.]]

[member_heading buffered_channel..close]

        void close() noexcept;

[variablelist
[[Effects:] [Deactivates the channel. No values can be put after calling
`this->close()`. Fibers blocked in `this->pop()`, `this->pop_wait_for()`
or `this->pop_wait_until()` will return `closed`. Fibers blocked in
`this->value_pop()` will receive an exception.]]
[[Throws:] [Nothing.]]
[[Note:] [`close()` is like closing a pipe. It informs waiting consumers
that no more values will arrive.]]

[template buffered_channel_push_effects[enqueues] If channel is closed, returns
`closed`. [enqueues] the value in the channel, wakes up a fiber
blocked on `this->pop()`, `this->value_pop()`, `this->pop_wait_for()` or

the fiber is blocked.]

[template buffered_channel_try_push_effects[enqueues] If channel is closed, returns
`closed`. [enqueues] the value in the channel, wakes up a fiber
blocked on `this->pop()`, `this->value_pop()`, `this->pop_wait_for()` or
`this->pop_wait_until()` and returns `success`. If the channel is full,
