Description

[Imported from JIRA. Reported by Tim Watson [Administrator] @hyperthunk) as DP-64 on 2013-02-01 08:44:42]
There are some very useful data structures which are currently internal to d-p. I would like to use some of these elsewhere, e.g., WeakTQueue in DPP, but I'd also like to stop exposing the internal modules which we currently do.

So, I think a separate package for common, shared modules such as data structures, would be a good idea. The big question is, what to call it... Hmn.

Research direction

Start by locating WeakTQueue and the other internal data-structure modules, then inspect how DPP uses them. Define the shared package boundary and choose a package name; done means common modules are available through the new package without exposing the existing internal modules.
