+ * \class deque
+ * \brief
+ *      A statically allocated deque based on a ring buffer
+ *
+ * The deque uses two ring_iterators one for the front and one for the rear. The iterators
+ * are pointing to the next available spot, not on the last inserted spot. This way at the
+ * initialization the iterators wont "pretend" to point to a valid item .
+ *
+ * We use a ring buffer of size \c N+1. We start the front iterator at the last location of the buffer
+ * and the rear on the first. This way when the queue is full the iterators are pointing to the same location.
+ *
+ * \tparam Data_t       The char-like queued item type. Usually \c char
+ * \tparam N            The size of deque
+ * \tparam SemiAtomic   True for semi-atomic operation. In that case the \c ring_iterator is also atomic.
+ * \note
+ *      SemiAtomic means it is safe to access different ends from different threads. For example one thread can
+ *      push only from front and another can pop from back to implement a queue.

+ * \class sequencer
+ * \brief
+ *      A CRTP base class to provide the sequencer functionality.
+ *
+ * Sequencer is a script engine with receive/transmit functionalities based on predicates. It has:
+ *  - A program counter like variable named \c step.
+ *  - \c step actions like NEXT, GOTO exit with status etc...
+ *  - Input data match predicates to trigger those actions.
+ *  - Input data handlers to trigger external functionality on predicate match
+ *  - Output data handlers to "edit" data before transmiting them
+ *  - A small predicate set provided to the user. (starts_with, ends_with, contains).
+ *
+ * Sequencer can automate communication with a terminal-like device such as AT-command modems, can
+ * be used to implement communication protocols, or even small http servers.
+ *
+ * It can operate based on a script array and handle the outgoing commands and incoming responses.
+ * The user can create matching rules on received data and hook handlers and actions on them.
+ *
+ * The derived class (implementation) has to provide:
+ *  1) size_t get(Data_t* data);
+ *     This function return 0 or a number of Data_t items. The data points to buffer for the input data.
+ *
+ *  3) size_t contents_ (Data_t* data);
+ *     This function return 0 or a number of Data_t items without removing them from the implementer's container
+ *     The data points to buffer for the input data.
+ *
+ *  2) size_t put(const Data_t* data, size_t n);
+ *     This function sends to implementation the data pointed by \c data witch have size \c n.
+ *
+ *  4) clock_t clock();
+ *     This function return a number to be used as time. The units of this function may be arbitrary but they
+ *     match the units in \c record_t::timeout field.
+ *
+ * \tparam Impl_t   The type of derived class
+ * \tparam Data_t   The char-like stream item type. Usually \c char
+ * \tparam N        The size of the sequence buffer to temporary store each line from get().
+ *
+ * \note
+ *      We need access to derived class container to sneaky get a range of the data beside
+ *      the normal data flow, in order to implement the \see control_t::DETECT operation.
