Description

The Deque documentation claims that this implementation is faster than Vector for pushfirst!, but this benchmark probably (?) hasn't been run since about Julia 0.3. We should rerun the benchmark and update the documentation.

Research direction

Start with the Deque documentation and locate the benchmark supporting its pushfirst! comparison with Vector. Run that benchmark on the current Julia version, then update the documentation so its performance claim matches the results.
