Identical to Bounded priority queue

Known implementations

  1. All implementations of Bounded priority queue
  2. Dial implementation

Remark

As the known implementations show, Bounded priority queue should be derived Bounded monotonous priority queue rather than the other way round, to avoid a violation of the Liskov substitution principle.
