/*!
* @brief The Mailbox class implements a mailbox metaphor. Just like postal service mailboxes,
* the mailbox class lets users add items to the box from a producer thread or group of threads,
* and in a (single, for now) consumer thread, take the entire contents of the mailbox out, and
* work with them.
*
* @tparam Item The Item type which is used in the mailbox containers.
*
* @note Mailboxes, for now, only support one consumer, and any number of producers.
*
* @invariant Mailboxes give out their contents in the order placed in.
*
* The Mailbox primitive is implemented as two "containers" which are swapped periodically by the
* consumer, and continually filled by the producers. This swapping keeps the identity in principle,
* but allows the user to access the contents of the "other side", in practice. The two mailbox
* containers are: "preparation" and "filled". The consumer takes a whole "filled" mailbox out, and
* replaces his current mailbox into the system for use as the new "preparation" box. The producer
* continually inserts mail into the "preparation" mailbox until full. The consumer clears his mailbox
* when returning it.
