Description
It would be super useful to be able to get multiple items from a trio.Queue object at once, ideally with a few options to tune if you want to get exactly N items (and block until N items happen), or if you're happy with less than that (and if you block, something with timeouts to be able to get what you've gotten so far).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing trio.Queue API and the issue discussion to understand current retrieval behavior. Define how requests for exactly N items, fewer items, blocking, and timeouts should behave; done means the supported options are specified and covered by appropriate Queue tests.
