// It should also be pointed out that the enqueue() function uses the global
// swap function to move jobs into the pipe. This means that it modifies the
// jobs we are passing in to it. This allows you to implement a fast swap
// operator for your jobs. For example, std::vector objects have a global
// swap and it can execute in constant time by just swapping pointers inside
// std::vector. This means that the dlib::pipe is effectively a zero-copy
// message passing system if you setup global swap for your jobs.
