Do you have an example of how to do it?
It doesn't appear to be so simple

If you have a queue with multiple feeders/eaters the pointer word is not
enough for integrity. You need a monotonic increasing sequence number which
you can play with CDS.

Once you get to multiple eaters with FIFO you need even more sequencing. PLO
and the transaction instructions allow that.
