The __builtin_constant_p() is introduced to avoid having the compiler 
generate a conditional branch and two different code paths in case 
nb_elem is a run-time variable.

In particular, this matters if nb_elems is run-time variable and varies 
between 1 and some larger value.

I should have mention this in the commit message.

A very slight performance improvement. It also makes the code better 
match the comment, imo. Zero cost for const one enqueues, but no impact 
non-compile-time-constant-length enqueues.

Feel free to ignore.
