/*!
 * \brief Unbounded ordering log record queueing strategy
 *
 * The \c unbounded_ordering_queue class is intended to be used with
 * the \c asynchronous_sink frontend as a log record queueing strategy.
 *
 * This strategy provides the following properties to the record queueing mechanism:
 *
 * \li The queue has no size limits.
 * \li The queue has a fixed latency window. This means that each log record put
 *     into the queue will normally not be dequeued for a certain period of time.
 * \li The queue performs stable record ordering within the latency window.
 *     The ordering predicate can be specified in the \c OrderT template parameter.
 *
 * Since this queue has no size limits, it may grow uncontrollably if sink backends
 * dequeue log records not fast enough. When this is an issue, it is recommended to
 * use one of the bounded strategies.
