Could it be made threadsafe?

For me, iterating on the queue means just calling `get` repeatedly until it's empty. Now that I think about it, maybe this is not the most obvious meaning? I'm not sure now.
Your obvious queue iterator would call get(block=False) and stop on Empty. The other obvious meaning is be to call get(block=True) forever. IMO they are both too "obvious" to make a call -- an explicit while loop is better. Georg
