I would like to ask if there is interest in the community for these kinds of containers. I know I would find them useful, and at least one person commented in the PR to the same effect. However, I would still like to see if more people need this.
Do notice that we also have this proposal floating around: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2019/09/246925.php https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2020/05/248871.php

From the brief look it seems like the closest component from the Vista library is circular_view, but it operates similarly to circular_buffer (not std::queue) on a fixed sized external buffer. Though it would be useful to have, it is not an equivalent of the ring queues I proposed. The two could complement each other.
