;;; Commentary:

;; This code defines a ring data structure. A ring is a 
;;     (hd-index length . vector) 
;; list.  You can insert to, remove from, and rotate a ring.  When the ring
;; fills up, insertions cause the oldest elts to be quietly dropped.
;;
;; In ring-ref, 0 is the index of the newest element.  Higher indexes
;; correspond to older elements; when the index equals the ring length,
;; it wraps to the newest element again.
;;
;; hd-index = vector index of the oldest ring item.
;;         Newer items follow this item; at the end of the vector,
;;	   they wrap around to the start of the vector.
;; length = number of items currently in the ring.
;;	   This never exceeds the length of the vector itself.
;;
;; These functions are used by the input history mechanism, but they can
;; be used for other purposes as well.
