 *
 *  Ultra lightweight ring buffer, for fast insertion/deletion. This uses inlined functions
 *  for maximum speed. All buffers created with this library must be of the same size, however
 *  multiple independant buffers can be created.
 *
 *  Note that for each buffer, insertion and removal operations may occur at the same time (via
 *  a multithreaded ISR based system) however the same kind of operation (two or more insertions
 *  or deletions) must not overlap. If there is possibility of two or more of the same kind of
 *  operating occuring at the same point in time, atomic (mutex) locking should be used.
