/*! \internal
 
    This is a generic implementation of a lock-free free list. Use next() to
    get the next free entry in the list, and release(id) when done with the id.
 
    This version is templated and allows having a payload of type T which can
    be accessed using the id returned by next(). The payload is allocated and
    deallocated automatically by the free list, but *NOT* when calling
    next()/release(). Initialization should be done by code needing it after
    next() returns. Likewise, cleanup() should happen before calling release().
    It is possible to have use 'void' as the payload type, in which case the
    free list only contains indexes to the next free entry.
 
    The ConstantsType type defaults to QFreeListDefaultConstants above. You can
    define your custom ConstantsType, see above for details on what needs to be
    available.
