You need to add this to next version of the patch.
I tried it and MSVC has no problems with the new code.

Another issue is the naming. Right now the choice of 'deque' generates lots of
checkpatch errors, and every bit of new code that uses the library will get a warning
as well. Can you think of a better name?
