// Message queues.  Message queues work in some ways like Go channels;
// they are a thread-safe way to pass messages between subsystems.  They
// do have additional capabilities though.
//
// A closed message queue cannot be written to, but if there are messages
// still in it and it is draining, it can be read from.  This permits
// linger operations to work.
//
// Message queues can be closed many times safely.
//
// Readers & writers in a message queue can be woken either by a timeout
// or by a specific signal (arranged by the caller).

// is invalid, or NNG_ENOMEM if resources cannot be allocated.

// was able to do so, or the queue is closed, returning either 0 on
// success or NNG_ECLOSED if the queue was closed.  If NNG_ECLOSED is
// returned, the caller is responsible for freeing the message with
// nni_msg_free(), otherwise the message is "owned" by the queue, and
// the caller is not permitted to access it further.
