/**
 * A general purpose circular buffer whose size is fixed. Any item added will replace
 * the oldest (if any)item. It has utilities using which we can navigate up and down
 * in the list. Each time {@link #add(java.lang.Object)} or {@link #resetNavigator() }
 * is called the navigator is reset which again points to the most recent added 
 * element. There is no way to delete an element except it getting overriden during
 * overflow add. Utilities of this are numerous, for instance if you need to a history
 * tracker, this is very handy.
