So far I haven't needed to use queue although I can see its potential. I 
have been playing with MicroPython on a RP2040. It implements _threading 
but queue is not done afaik. In this case one thread reads temperature/
humidity from a sensor while the other handles wifi connections requesting 
for the data. A queue would be useful for accumulating history between 
requests.
