[VOTE] Alter CircularBuffer's API

[Berin Loritsch]

I would like to alter the CircularBuffer's API (using deprecation of course) 
with the
following cosmetic changes:

class CircularBuffer
{
    add( Object obj ); // was append()
    Object remove(); // was get()

    int size(); // was getContentSize()

    int isEmpty(); // remains the same
}

I would also like to deprecate the getBufferSize(), unless someone can give me 
a practical
reason for it's use.  CircularBuffer does resize itself, so it's buffer size 
does not need
to be managed externally.  If you want to fix the size of the CircularBuffer, 
you have to
rely on a constant value that does not change--so getBufferSize() won't work 
for that
purpose.  It may be necessary for the internal functions, but it can be 
encapsulated inside
with a private accessor.
