Unlike the Vector name which is really confusing as it is not a vector, Deque is actually relatively known for anyone needing a double ended queue. It even comes first in google search, wikipedia or java implementations, which matches this implementation. We expect our users to know all weird names of different patterns, I trust them to be able to learn what a Deque is. :) best, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
