* This file defines the ActionQueue.
*
* This used to be called SyncStack, and while a stack is cool
* for some things, it actually rather confuses the issue because
* you _use_ this class for specifying "do this, then that, then ..."
* and in program code you need to reverse that order when adding
* items to a stack. So now it's a Queue, FIFO, and program
* code looks more normal.

/**
* The ActionQueue is a meta-action, which handles running a bunch of

* be queued on another ActionQueue.
*
* An ActionQueue is constructed with a @p device. As usual, you should
* connect the device's deviceReady() signal with the exec() slot --
* or something to that effect. The ActionQueue will then run all the
* actions in the queue in sequence.
