The implementations have to be totally different, I think.  For example
(ice-9 q) has O(N) access to the length of the queue, which is something
that is accessed all the time in a blocking queue.  Given that we don't
really have interfaces, and we couldn't for (ice-9 q) given that it
isn't an abstract data type, I'm OK with a second implementation.
