/** @file call-queue.hpp
** A Queue for function invocations, allowing them to be dispatched on demand.
** Typically this queue helper is used to forward lambdas into another thread, e.g.
** the UI thread for execution.
**
** @todo simplistic braindead implementation with locking and heap based storage
** based on std::function; should use a lock-fee queue and should have an eye
** on the impact of managing argument storage
**
** @see gui::NotificationService usage example
