If you need to address a queue as a Consumer/Supplier, anything wrong with queue::put and queue:take?
About the choice of name of "Consumer", I seriously hate it. It has a connotation that the ownership of the object is transferred, and object might be dissolved. In many of my use cases, "consumer" simply sounds grotesque and totally misleading. I wish the choice was Procedure instead. (I'm just venting, not asking for change.)

If the method in Consumer was called put and the method in Supplier was called take, then Queue could be retrofitted to extend both Consumer and Supplier and then many collections could be Consumers and Suppliers.
I think this would be useful - what do others think? -- Howard.
