I do not think this kind of object will ever exist in glib because it
would involve 2 semaphores and a critical section and I doubt people
would be willing to get this overhead when using the data structure in a
non-multithreaded environment.

(I personally would love to see it but... :)

As a side note, you refered to the "Async Queue" and what you want is a
"Sync Queue" so, I guess you definitely should create your own version
of a "Sync Queue"
